We've got wild ones here. I just never see one during hunting season. Very cool birds.

Whew! What a relief. From the title I thought someone had uncovered my life story.

Interesting history! Thanks. I've seen them in the wild (I'm in Washington), but not often.

History Of The Turkey!

The history of MY turkey usually consists of being basted and cooked for a few hours.

And then you don't wanna know the rest.

So, now we're finding out that turkey and mashed potatoes is a Latin American meal? Man, where's it gonna end?

Yuuummmmmm we love wild turkey. They are elusive. Honey did not get one this year, saw lots of sign, spooked a flock but could not get off a shot.

In response to the long tale of how the turkeys name was derived, I was under the impression that there was a history in England, and possibly the rest of Europe, of referring to large game birds as turkeys.
