So happy, I could not believe my eyes.

Hey, great news that you have Turkeys on your Property.

On another note, I replied to a thread that you had posted on about shooting Turkeys with a rimfire. Is that legal in BC? If so great, but in Ontario you have to hunt them with Shotguns. I would love to be able to hunt them here with a .17 HMR. Pesky wise old Toms hanging up 75 yards away, way to far for the shottie, a .17 would be perfect medicine.

I've hunted there! shot my last moose from a canoe on shutyermouth Lake, far end of the valley
 
cbabes,

My childhood home is near that spot. The hills still look the same. I grew up as a lucky kid with a dirt bike and a .22 for my first 19 years there. Well those parts came in the 12-14 year old range :)

Not trying to romanticize it too much though. Even small farm farmwork is a tough upbringing. It was time to learn how to throw hay when I started weighing more than a bale of it. And DAMMIT, there were no turnkeys then, only ruffed grouse.

In the area I do my deer hunting if your cruising around on a quad or dirt bike it's not uncommon to see 25-30 wild turkeys in a single day. Twenty years ago it was unheard of. It's great to see a growing population of these grand birds.
 
Yeah it is beautiful. You make me miss it up there.

Wanna know a funny story? a buddy and me came down one of the big cracks in the cliffs just south of your house on the road, right across where I lived on the FD side. It was tense and we didn't mean to cut the line so close.

It seemed like a good idea at the time.

years ago while my grandfather was still alive, he had a flock (?) of wild turkeys that lived in his front yard and were there for a couple years until he moved.
