Mickey,

Thanks Shell & Jeff

Grand old bird isn't it?

And to think Ben Franklin wanted it as our national symbol instead of the eagle

Can you see a bunch of Harley riders with turkeys tatooed on their biceps ?

Mickey I have seperate pics of yours as my wallpaper both at work and at home, I'm sure I am not alone......thanks.  I too never tire of looking at these.....

You can get one of those fake stick on tats of a turkey, put it on and model it for us to give us an idea of could have been.....

I've got "a few" eagle tattoos.....

But I would be PROUD to wear a "Turkey Tattoo!!!!! I can see it now.....Ridin' a Road King with my leather jacket.....the label from a bottle of "Wild Turkey" sewn on the back!!!!! We would call our club  "The Wild Turkeys".....and we would be the "Baddest Flock" on the road.....

(probly the smartest too.....    )

You guys are a riot!

Just wondering if Ferrit is an undercover member of PETA posting all these pictures of those really incredible brids and teasing our inner hunter's soul as he has been doing?

Mickey I don't recall seeing or hearing. Did you shoot a bird with anything other than your camera?   :p  You must of as your pictures are super. Thanks for sharing them with us. They make me wonder just how brite I am. As they always do what I least expect. And leave me holding a unfilled tag!    I'm not sure I like turkeys!

Brent..nope ain't shot nuthin yet this year. I have an empty tag as well. One more weekend to correct that though.

They are in my yard all year except during the mating period. About 2 weeks before hunting season comes in they dissapear. Then come back in the yard once the poults are hatched. I've never taken a spring bird here in 14 years.(taken a lot of pictures though) I have taken a couple fall birds.

Dianne has ALMOST taken a couple spring birds but for the most part it's a turkey ghost town when season is in.

Mickey keep up the good work. It has to all come together at some point! Hopefully your broadheads!    They are flustrating! Maybe irratating is more like it.
