Wildlife at a Glance
I don’t know about your area but mine is quite busy lately. What I mean by that is the local wildlife. Yesterday I went out turkey hunting and again just like the last time I sat and watch a deer feed by me. The whole time I was think that turkey hunting is great way to keep tabs on the the deer population. I haven’t had a luck yet with obtaining Thanksgiving dinner but I really enjoy trying.
After I left the woods yesterday morning with out seeing anything but a deer I proceeded to head home. Not to far away I had looked over into somebodies yard as I was driving by and what do you think I saw. There standing in the driveway next to the family car was a turkey, how ironic is that. As I continued I caught the sight of a deer crossing the road. I pulled up and stopped to watch this beautiful animal stop and turn to look back at me before continuing.
Later that same day I was on my way to work and again glanced off to the side as I am always scanning and what did I see was a very large deer gracefully prancing across a small area that had been cleared. I was bolting but is wasn’t walking either, just a graceful gate.
On my way home from work at 1:00 this morning I saw two more deer who had just crossed the road and as I slowed down to look and make sure there was not more that were coming I looked at them and remember seeing them turn side to side in unison like they were joined at the hip. I am assuming they had to be twins. They were so close to each that they could have changed into each others fur.

Seeing wildlife is always cool, and turkey hunting definitely helps with the deer scouting.

Arthur, it sure does. Saturday I am going back out and a friend has offered to go with me and do some calling for me.

I haven’t seen many deer lately, but I’ve seen a lot of turkey. All of the sudden they’re showing up everywhere and playing chicken (or is it turkey) with my car.

Kristine, my advise would be not to hit one. If you could talk turkey than tell them to come see me and I will take it from there.
