I never realized how many wild turkeys were in Wyoming until I started seeing them in the neighborhood when I moved back.<br /><br />Maybe we should start a Turkey Trot! :)<br /><br />Kirsten Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05720732595156726142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-28898007689147705932014-11-20T22:56:47.426-06:002014-11-20T22:56:47.426-06:00Celia, I don't think I'd want to live near...Celia, I don't think I'd want to live near Cuero back then, but it might have been fun to see the Turkey Trot just once. I do wonder about the odor of all those pesky birds, though.

And yes, they are dumb.<br />We have a small flock of wild turkeys out here in Central Texas where we live. Once in a while we see them, and once in a while we hear them! I'm surprised someone has not killed one...or two...<br />Only Texas would have a Turkey Capital. Thanks goodness it's not the town where I live.<br />Great stuff, Lyn! Happy Thanksgiving.!<br /> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272417114895975742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-81041671568979313742014-11-20T15:46:30.203-06:002014-11-20T15:46:30.203-06:00Paisley, they aren't the prettiest of birds ei...Paisley, they aren't the prettiest of birds either, but they sure do taste good roasted!Lyn Hornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05596495172490672271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-54106609804826724302014-11-20T15:44:55.009-06:002014-11-20T15:44:55.009-06:00Thank you, Caroline.

On several occasion when I lived in California and drove down the mountain to my RWA meetings, I had to stop on the road and let the wild turkeys cross ahead of my car. They are strange birds and oblivious to their surroundings. I wouldn't want to deal with them on foot, though.Paisley Kirkpatrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06401039126457210324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-3576711619765414332014-11-20T09:20:13.507-06:002014-11-20T09:20:13.507-06:00Lyn, you always find such interesting subjects for...Lyn, you always find such interesting subjects for your posts. This is fun info about our state. By the way, as a teen, my mom raised turkeys. She said they are dumb and will stand in a rain downpour and look up with their mouths open until they drown. She hated them. She was raising them to get money to go to beauty school. Caroline Clemmonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14914658854159456335noreply@blogger.com
