The birds who all show up at the house are off limits . I left the birds for the hunting camp way up back. Like to watch them anyway. Its good relations with the guys up there. They are allowing me to bow hunt the whole property. And the girlfriend said where's the sport in it for you anyway. After talking to the guys they have only killed one longbeard and a jake up there all season. Trust me there is nothing worse than going 3 days without hearing a gobble. To come home and hear the several gobblers hammer away into the back of the house. But anyway its pretty cool to see them and listen to them speak their language. I have countless photos and camcorder video of the birds. So I thought I'd share them here and there. 4 pointer has been getting them for months. So he has seen a few. Lol!!

This dude shows up bout every couple of days. Call him Gimp. He broke his toe a couple weeks ago. He does just fine! This was Saturday evening I think? 5 or 6 Jakes, Gimp ,and 5 hens. Hadn't seen any in a few days. When they showed it was like gangbusters.

Wow! I don't know if I could handle that! I mean, that would be like putting a bakery behind the house of someone who's dieting!

Trust me there were a couple times. But both times I would stop and think. My girlfriend would not be pleased at all. And when the wildlife is here unharrassed it adds entertainment. Wouldn't wanna alter that. My girlfriend calls it the neutral zone here. She said if the turkeys only knew who was watching them. Lol!! But I have properties very close that are all good hunting. Don't need to shoot them here. Let those guys have them to play with.
