FC Posted November 3, 2022 Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 There’s 105 mailboxes on my 3 mile road, 5 minutes from town. Not only are the deer at home here, now wild turkeys are too. Omaha and Belleview, Nebraska had them in town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swamp_thing Posted November 4, 2022 Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 Louisville area around the state lakes and the surrounding area have hundreds of them. They are getting well populated state wide. There used to be one that went to downtown Papillion every day until someone hit and killed it. I've had them follow me single file while I was on a riding mower out here in the country near the Platte river. They can be quiet inquisitive. Glad they are here though.

Dr.Hess Posted November 4, 2022 Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 I've seen them here, but not for a few years now. At the right time of the year, the geese are all over the road between here and town. Every once in a while, one screws up and gets plastered by a car. I'm just surprised that no local picks it up for dinner. Road kill deer don't last long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken98k Posted November 4, 2022 Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 I grew up hunting in New Hampshire but never saw a turkey. I did hear one shortly before I left the state. Now, 32 years later, my father and brothers have them in their yards daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FC Posted November 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 I never saw one until 1993. Their population must’ve really taken off! The National Wild Turkey Federation is only 15 miles from me. Nice little museum there. I can’t help but stare at a formation of geese.

Dr.Hess Posted November 4, 2022 Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 I've been seeing geese flying south-ish in formation for a couple weeks now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're long gone from here. The geese leave here in mid September. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racepres Posted November 5, 2022 Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 Geese have pretty much left here... except "Residents", which are very Few. Turkeys...have always stayed put here.. they move deeper into cover, and Winter it out...sometimes "Yarding-Up" like the deer do in late Winter.. The Last Migratory bird to leave us, is the Blue Heron.. sometimes I wonder if they was gonna Freeze into the Pond Standin there like that.. Never did happen tho. Sittin here wishin them Sparrows (flyin Mice) would Migrate.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
