This farmer had 6 children and on thanksgiving they all argued on which ones would get the turkey legs, so he spent many years breeding turkeys with more legs. Finally he achieved a turkey with 6 legs. Someone then asked him if they tasted any good and he said he did not know because he could not catch any of them. :smile:

The wild ones fly. You can’t catch those easily either. They scare the crap out of you if you walk up on them accidentally and scare them out of the tree.

To say a turkey can fly is like saying I can swim. I can but only a short while and I’m out of breath. I scared a flock once and they took off toward a stand of trees. They flew so erratically and ungainly that I was sure I was going to find a few unconscious below the trees. :smile:

I don’t know where all the wild ones went. I once had to stop on a county road while I counted 45 of them slowly making their way from one side to the other in no particular hurry. I used to go out and look in our trees at daylight and there would be big blobs sitting up in them who launch when they notice you. Not my favorite animal anyway and they like to spread around sticky greenish crap that the dogs liked to roll in. Had to use dish soap to get it out of their fir. They can definitely fly, Marty. They just prefer not to. I’ve seen them go through the stands of small ironwood we have and never run into one. Anyway I have seen one amble through our woods in a couple of years.

I can’t contribute much, other than that I’ve visited Turkey twice. As far as I recall I’ve never tasted turkey. Over here we seem to prefer pig’s butts for Christmas and such.

Actually not. We had to do some excursions to get dinner :smile:

With the moose on the square and the darkness it may be Sweden, Norway or Finland. My guess is Finland and Helsinki, due to the arcitecture.

We didn’t have turkey but I was making dinner and I don’t like turkey and vice versa, so we had grilled pork lion. The grill knobs were frozen, but I managed to get it to work… :slight_smile:

we have some around here. I think the DNR planted some around here about 20 years ago. There was a mom with a clutch of like 12, and by the time predators and cars got to them, it was down to 8 midsummer, and I think that flock ended up to be about 6. I am guessing that was the 6 I saw run across the yard.

Didn’t see the illuminated moose nor met any dutch people but many people in Stockholm met a not ashamed redneck out-of-town guy with a loud laugh and questions about directions :smile:
