CO turkeys are "Merriam" turkeys. We used to see them almost daily in the yard...up to 30 birds of all ages....but then we got the big pup...and the turkeys and deer have since stayed out of the general area around the house. I do see tracks/scat on my walks around the place with the dog though.
yep, i smell fish hear water and sand under the tires ,gotta jet man, letme out of here!
man for me ,it get a tag cock the crossbow shoot at where the wings hinge on the body ,saves a lot of meat in the breast area , i love jerked turkey ,no shotgun pellets to deal with!i have three young bucks that are in love with the pine trees at the edge of the yard tear small limbs off the bigger branches then paw a spot bare and mark it . i'll let them play around till it cools off a little more then it's ambush time from the dump truck bed ,when the big boy shows the rag tops vanish.
cool,I never knew they would that !View attachment 132606
This is the Wonder Boom tree 5min from my house here in Pretoria South Africa,it’s a 1000 year old Fig tree that grew so much,its
branches ended up going into the ground and cloning themselves,there’s now 7 daughter trees remaining in this nature reserve,the site used to be a burial ground for the native Ndebele tribe.
And I hit some nice Blueberry Sunset joint over there!Nice experience
crab and fish too ,that would be neat ,and let the pup get about!
peeps on both side of me feed corn all i could was add a mineral block ,they are getting more spookie the past few weeks they will be wild come the full moon , and again right at christmas by then most everybody is done wore out hunting then i get to hunt the barn yard ,main crossing area ,dressed heavy i look like a big limb , that fell from the tree ive had two 1 hand kill shots@10 ft. under that old oak, over the past 30 years!
you are not traping the cats,bear/beaver skin coat would be warm i would be wild.local shooting range is starting to have a small problem ( dams blocking drains on both sides of the place to the river) with them as soon as pups hit think i can get a few hides when it gets cold .
cat looks to be moving on, head and tail down
older cats pack some extra weight,was a old boy hunting turkey,bobcat jumped him from behind,cat went after the sound not the decoys!
Blue berries, ,Apple trees,Peaches,and the Fig tree, have trellas set up for Kiwi vines, all has to be fenced.
That young bear is taking notes for later!
Speaking of beaver the biggest beaver I ever saw was shot out of a flooded field in North Dakota. Must've been a 100lbs it covered the hood of a pick up.
Sadly...I'm fairly sure it fell prey to a guy up above us on another road who caught him/her shaking his pissy little apple tree. Blasted it on the spot. Not hurting anyone...and not a legal kill here. Put the entire town up in arms. Some said "No harm, no foul/etc."....others...like my ex-Game warden/Wildlife neighbor with the skid steer had to be held back from alleviating the clown of his apple tree. Ended up with a $1500 fine...and fame in the 'hood.
Could've bought a couple new chickens at that price. If 13k, he should've just bought from the store in the first place!
Exactly....don't shoot it if you not going to eat it!
