We have had a few wildlife adventures over the past months. We have been trying to find the deer traffic on a trail cam, but haven't seen the bucks reported by neighbors. We put out the apple trimmings, but didn't really see any signs that deer had visited those.
One day, the turkeys were sighted using the south trail. Ken tried to sneak up on them, but they moved through too quickly and disappeared.
Today, however, there was a flock grazing on the acorns along the southern trail. Ken grabbed his camo coat and shotgun and was out the door. He snuck up the east trail, and through the woods. He crawled his way through the woods to a big tree, and when he felt one turkey was aware of him, he rushed a shot before the alarm could be given. He harvested a turkey! Good meal on Sunday.
There were more turkeys coming across the field to the south that Ken didn't see; when I told him about those, he thought the first flock was hens and poults, and maybe the incoming flock was the toms. Oh well. I hope the turkeys return to graze again. It is fun to see them.
