>>>Sorry to disappoint you, but I think
when hunters sit out in the woods and try to sound like turkeys, they're taking
advantage of the fact that turkeys DON'T mate for life. I wouldn't
risk letting rare-breed turkeys wander where there are wild
ones.<<<
Inland Fisheries & Wildlife said the same thing. A jake will mate
as many hens as possible. I've kept my birds in unless I'm outside
working. I haven't seen the wild turkeys since last Saturday but I'm sure
they'll be back. Thanks to all who wrote.
Our bird problem shifted from wild turkeys to two great blue herons hanging
out at our stocked pond this week. One bird one time was cool. Two
birds all week is a problem. I don't think they can get the large rainbows
but the smaller ones do get much closer to shore. This afternoon an osprey
(I think) was perched in a large maple watching over the farm. It didn't
stay long and hopefully won't be back again since it found nothing to eat.
