In Kentucky I love seeing Wild Turkeys, but never am quick enough to capture a photo. Great information in his post.

I live in rural west Michigan and there wasn’t any turkeys around back in the 70/80’s but some were introduced to the area in the early 90s but litterally right now I am looking at 25 plus wild turkeys at my bird feeder right now…they come every single day now……and basically live here in our manicured yard sleeping and eating my garden chard down to nothing and ly strawberries as well…..we are surrounded by corn fields about a four hundred yards away across the street….and behind our ten acres of woods is a stream and more fields of corn……..they have a takeoff area just into our woods line where they run and take off and fly up into our hemlocks im assuming …..they sleep just a couple hundred feet from the house here….they were very wary when first coming here…they spotted any movement from in the house ( and they do not miss much let me tell ya) and they wouldran off as if their hair was on fire but now they know me and have said I can live here….😳🙄🤣🤣🤣😁😉😎😎😎😎 i always have fresh water out even in the freezing winter and they have cover and a big area to run around in….and feed from my bird feeders which are hung from a wire way off the ground and they cant get to that but i put out seeds and corn for the birds and squirrels so they have shared that as well….so it looks like they are here to stay . I actually have deer, two opposums and a couple racoons that will get a bite right along side each other…and once a red fox joined them…just odd….but Im assuming the fox just was attracted because he heard something and found a couple pieces of suet that fell out of a suet feeder. Never saw the fox after that morning but caught two grey fox and a bobcat a couple times on a camera out in the woods here…..so its a pretty cool place to dwell im guessing….coyotes holler at night, the whole deal….just need a bear now! Lol☺️i hope not as enough is going on around here and too many other houses around here…I think people would be frightened and it could get a bear killed or something…maybe not but u never know….its easy to get a problem with wild animals tearing up stuff if food is available.

I love this video, watch it all the time

6:03 I love seeing wild turkeys. I only have 2.06 acres in noble Oklahoma but so love it when they visit. Thanks for the info as all I would ever do is feed them over the winter. Anyone that hunts them on my property will not like the out come. I am within the city limits and I will call the noble game warden. These birds need to be protected. You can get a turkey at Walmart for 10 bucks. Leave my baby's alone!
