This guy ( or gal) got lucky...we don't hunt. But walking around in our Ham Lake yard days before a holiday that puts a turkey on almost every table in Anoka County, this bird does take his life into his own hands....I mean wings ( or would it be drumsticks?)
This is just one of many as we have several dozen of wild turkeys roam through the wooded acreage around our home. Wild Turkeys are abundant throughout Columbus, Linwood, Andover, Lino Lakes and even Blaine.
Teri, now that looks like a free range turkey! I mean the real thing - not the kind I'm driving to a nearby farm to pick up. Well, at least mine will not have grown up in a cage! Have a great Thanksgiving.
Nice that you let him off the hook Teri! We get them out in our neck of the woods too.... sometimes bedded in our yard. :)
Scott--I was in my basement and it was checking out it's reflection in the glass.
Patricia--Yep more of a prairie around here but they roam free. And if I would have caught him he would have been "free" but the plucking wouldn't have been worth it! lol
Hope your Thankgiving is happy and your turkey dinner is perfect!
Lindsey--I hit one of the dang things at 55mph and blew out my windshield about 6-7 years ago! They are all over the place!
Renee--Yep...he was one lucky bird. He had been pecking at his reflection on my basement window. Thought he was going to break it. If I was a hunter, he would have been dinner for sure!
Teri, I had no idea that turkeys still roamed wild. It must be amazing to see one in your yard.
What a great shot, Teri. And I am so glad this guy or gal is wild and free. Beautiful bird.
Teri I wonder if that turkey knows you don't hunt proving they aren't as dumb as people think
