These guys were right in my front yard yesterday morning (4/11/08). Saw them out the picture window.

Here's a better photo. It's Sunday no less, they must know they are safe? They went right across the front yard, across the driveway and down over the hill behind the house. Here is one of them shot when I went out on the porch to get a better look. They were so close I knew I would scare them off. They were gobbling the whole time.

I tried gobbling with my voice and got a response every time.

Here they are behind the house. I guess I could set up in the morning in that old building. Would it be ethical to whack one of them from there or from the back porch??

The way my season's goin,,,,,
I not sure he woulda made it past the porch. :biggrin: :nono: :laf:
I have always heard "Birds of a feather flock together", but this looks like turkeys flocking with a frog! That's pretty cool carrying on there, Frogman. A hearty "Ribot" to you sir. :laf: :eyebrownod:
That is way cool. I shoot coyotes out the window but we don't have any chicken eating turkeys so I guess they'd be safe. :shrug: But I sure know what I'd be thinking.

I have had 12 in my front yard before and of course season wasn't in but it is nice to see wildlife that close to the house
I woulda started the grill first, and then chased em down with the shotgun :biggrin:
