They showed up had been seeing just hens till a few days ago. Had dozens of pictures of them.

Beautiful! I've got about 23 days until I get to chase turkeys in Missouri. I'm ready.

Great pics.

Good luck Big Sam.

Thank you, Dozer. I'll need all the luck I can get. Only down for three days and my boys get to shoot first.

Nice pictures.

Looks like a target rich environment.

Great pics, Snowy!

Great pics. Those are beautiful birds. Chomping at the bit to get out and chase them. Opens next Saturday here in VA.

Got some young first time turkey hunters that will be with there dads come in for some hunts. I get more excited about giving them the opportunity and to experience the joy of the outdoors. My son has lined some up and asked if it would be OK. I said absolutely!!!!

I wish you well Big Sam and the kids. Be a memory for them for life.

Snowy, I hope you can post some pictures when the first timers kill some birds

Beautiful birds.
Merriams are on my want to hunt list

Yep!!! I will do that be some happy youngsters. Lol

I have 3 big boys coming to the house for the golden corral buffet, lol....God forbid I don't see them in time or they'll march up onto the deck and start banging on the slider door..
They get awful cheeky when groceries are late....

LOL!! That is pretty cool.

Yea getting tired of some of the free ranging yard ornament

Great pix Snowy !!! If it wasn't you posting those I'd almost think they were AI generated

Nice pictures.Merriam turkeys?

Yes, Merriam.

If I was closer I'd help you out with those nuisance turkeys. At least make 'em a bit more shy.

Nuisance turkeys they are, the businesses in town are complaining about turkey crap being tracked into their stores, the town went to game department on hiring a WCO to trap was told to haze or herd them out of town refused to allow trapping but did allow town LEO's to dispatch.
The town had a serious if not an over whelming problem with in excess of 100 turkeys in town, several times had 50+ birds in my yard

Good luck! I was wondering if the boys were tagging along. Awesome!

Thank you. The boys tag along for almost everything anymore. It's getting rarer and rarer that I kill anything, as the kids are now my hired assassin's. Lol.

Jingles yep a lot of turkey dinners there. I have pictures of that size of flocks also. The difference is didn't every really see any dropping when in rural areas. If they are in business districts and around high populated areas it would be a problem.

Great pictures!!
