I have about fifty or so turkeys that come to my field every morning. They like to steal food from my chickens and ducks so I feed them some multi grain scratch further out in the field in my effort to limit the stealing.

This spring I went outside to inhale the fresh air. I noticed an unusually large animal in my 150 year old burr oaks. I went in to get the binoculars. By that time it was way up high near the crown of the tree but still on solid branches. Low & behold it was a wild turkey which were nearly extinct in Wisconsin years ago.. Small joys bind my life together. There is a flock that occasionally makes its way thru the encroachment of civilization.. They are safe on my measly 4 acres here. I could never eat an animal....except a meal worm.

Wild turkey is smart and great bourbon

I'm not a vegetarian but I really don't like turkey.

I will not eat turkey on Thanksgiving, or on any other day. I am a vegetarian, because I have mercy for my fellow animals.
