On my way to work this morning and don't I spot a dark shape off the 407 before Goreway. As I get closer the dark shape morphs into a tom turkey strutting in all his glory surrounded by 3 hens.
Shook my head as I passed them by thinking come the time I'll be hunting them will be driving at least an hour away from home.
lol sounds about right, last year after leaving the property multiple times we drove down by a Mennonites property to see turkey or turkey vultures sitting on his fence posts right beside his house. almost every day. idk if they were tamed or something but he would walk right by them and they wouldnt take off or anything, looked like some big big birds.
exactly like this pic

My wife insists on calling them Buzzards....she thinks that sounds better HaHa.
Ugly mothers, they made their way up North. Too bad the good Turkeys don’t follow.
Just don’t shoot a buzzard. I was told there worst than any skunk
lol i havent caught them in flight at all, but everytime last year i used to drive by the guys place and they would be sitting on posts like that, maybe waiting to find some field mice in the field? or barn? who knows. they have a pretty big wingspan.
I'm not sure if these were pissed off at me or doing a dance ritual but yes their wingspan was wide.

Think that's bad? I spent the entirety of last season watching huge Toms on neighbouring properties I couldn't hunt. Meanwhile I was getting swamped on all of the ones I was hunting, I'd have better luck hunting in a parking lot... OH and everywhere I went I saw Toms from the road. Also it didn't help I'd wake up every morning to gobbles from a golf course I live nearby. Turkeys quite literally infested every inch of the world except where I was allowed to hunt...
yup same here lol, the whole ride back we would see GROUPS OF TOMS off the road on guys fields,Quote:

Caught a glimpse of the Tom today on the side of the hill. Guess the weather didn't agree with him hunch over just pecking at the ground
The biggest tom I've ever seen (fat as hell, biggest in my lifetime) lives in a closed down golfcourse RIGHT beside my apartment too. I have to listen to him gobbling while getting ready for my morning hunt where I will see and hear absolutely nothing for the 100th time lol.Quote:
