I was over at a friend's house yesterday... check out what decided to take over the tee box area on the hole that starts directly behind their backyard. They have a fence surrounding their yard or I'm sure these delicious looking wild turkeys would have stomped right up to their pool for a drink. That Tom Turkey was a badass.. I didn't count, but I think he had 10 or more females following him around.

I went outside the fence and walked right up amongst them... they had no fear of me. The Tom was gobbling at me like a madman though.

That's so fucking cool, Selassie. They're lucky it's not Thanksgiving, though. :p

Those are Eastern Bronze Wild Turkeys
My son raised Rio Grandes in Texas and had the largest Heritage Auburn flock in the world for 4 years before we sold the place. He would have all sorta of people come to the ranch and buy them and I had no idea how much he made until I needed to borrow some cash to pay someone - he busts out a wad of twenties and peeled me off one like Chris Rock in that “one rib” scene — i mean the guy was 13 and had 2600$ hahah
Anyway, it’s always exciting to see gobblers in the wild cruising into neighborhoods.
