We're not the only one's that eat turkeys

[Ron LaClair]

We need more folks like the Beverly Hillbillys who think possum gizzards are a delicacy...  

I think the current low price of fur has kept trapping and predator hunting down. You can blame that on the Bunny Huggers who don't have a clue..

AMEN to that Mr. Ron.... You pegged it

Yotes make a nice hat.

Every notice that birds that nest on the ground, will nest two or three times if the first hatch is doomed by the weather or predators.

The WDF&G estimated that because of the heavy snow, cold and wet weather, they lost 40% of the turkey pop. in NE Washington. Not sure how they came to that conclusion, because they don't count them.

They will renest if broken up before they start incubating, not likely after that.

It's always tempting to look for a nest whenever we flush a turkey hen while turkey hunting.  It will nearly always lead predators to follow our scent and find the nest.

Turkeys incubate for 28 days. During the first two weeks, if you disturb her on the nest she will likely abandon the nest. During the last two weeks they are more likely to stick with it.

This one didn't get passed.

Mass finally smartened up and opens the coyote season right with deer season now,,,,, after all these years of having coyotes run in when you blew a fawn bleat,, now they run in and usually don't run out or run too far....  I have no problem breaking silence to shoot a coyote at first light when it comes in on a fawn in distress.

Ron nice pic above,, you truly live with the spirit.

don't forget about the greathorned owl who also kills turkeys at night on the roost.

[Joey Ward]

Good thing they don't know how to fry 'em, or they'd kill lots more!
