We had 4 turkeys walk across our pasture yesterday afternoon.  First time we've seen turkeys on our place in 31 years.

They can be amazingly aggressive and dumb.

Some domestic turkeys aren't much better.  We had a friend that raised 'show' turkeys in South Dakota, and we kept a few at our house for him. We have turkeys all around us in the river bottom and in the forest, etc., but up to now, never had any on our place.
