I don't even remember how I got here.

LOLOL! Know what ya mean, I've done the same thing. It's kinda like that deal where ya go into a grocery store to get a particular item, & come out with a ton of stuff but Not that particular item.

3 years later and I've made it back here somehow

They’re also nasty buggers if you come across any during a hike! Wasn’t the birds going up the trees! They hit your legs with their wings, and it hurts! A lot! If you’re tiny or a kid, they can break bones! No guilt over the loads of (tame) turkeys I’ve ingested over the years … 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦

ask mr carlson about turkeys!!!

They know they need to be up in the trees at night or else they will get eaten by coyotes and wolves.

Domesticated turkeys can’t fly, no more than a chicken.

@@josephsmith7970 Wild turkeys certainly can fly though.

@Karen Mintuck I had a friend from work cut and bale my hay fields about a month ago. He accidentally killed a hen sitting on her eggs somewhere in the tall hay. So he took the eggs home and hatched 8 babies. We will be bringing them to my barn this week to put in a big chicken pen (enclosed horse stall) that is currently empty. I need to look up more info on when it will be okay to turn them loose in the same field they were found in. There's lots of trees all around for them.

Wild turkeys turn invisible each November and do not reappear until Thanksgiving is over. That's a fact!

Pooping in your yard means they LIKE you. Spelling your name in poop means they LOVE you!

Maybe you could answer a question for me. I had a friend cut and bale one of my hay fields here on the NY/Pa border last month. He accidentally killed a turkey hen sitting on her eggs, so he took them home and hatched 8 babies. We are bringing them back to my barn this week and putting them in a horse stall that I enclosed with chicken wire years ago for my hens. The pen is currently empty. I'm wondering when I could turn them loose in the same field? I assume natural instincts would tell them to perch in the surrounding trees? Would it be a bad idea or maybe illegal to toss some corn out for them for a few weeks until they adapt to their surroundings? Thanks for any insight. Just trying to do the right thing for them.

@@SPCLPONY you may have circumvented the game laws. In some states you need a permit to keep wild game you order through the mail. Some won't let you keep anything wild. I'm not a lawyer, by the grace of God. As for spreading corn around, some places call "baiting", I don't know of anywhere that is not illegal. I would research everything you need to know on the internet, look it up on hard copy to back it up. I have nothing against legal hunting. I would even let family or neighbors hunt on my land if they asked me. I just don't like to kill anything anymore. And for clarification, I don't dispense legal advice, just opinions.

@@davidbenner2289 Thank you for your reply. I kind of figured there would be legal ramifications involved, even if I was just trying to do the right thing. I understand the corn thing. I keep a salt block out for my 2 horses, but it stays near the barn, not up in the pasture where a game officer would probably frown on it. I still plan to 'raise' them to some degree and probably just turn them loose when it looks like they can fly and hope for the best. I guess I was looking for an opinion of what age they should be fine on their own. I haven't hunted in many years myself, but have nothing against it as long as it's done right.

@@SPCLPONY keep a place close to the animals for them to find food and they will stay in the area. However, they'll wander away, in time. They may stay in a few square mile area. Wear red and blue and they may think you are one of them and not run off or fly away. Closest I ever got to one I the wild was a hen out six or eight feet away. I'm known for getting close.

So you Admit at one point you liked to kill?? I'm jk brother haha that's awesome

I pray he delivers you from eating worms. Lol

You and I know why we're both here

Hang in there Doug!!!! You will get one and if you don't you still get to enjoy the outdoors 👍🇺🇲

Tell that to the turkeys flying up into the trees. Video is most definitely not fake. Do some research before commenting please

You can tell they are huge by the sound there wings make.
