The wild Turkeys that walk across our land here and which I hope to harvest some of this autumn if I can catch them! There are maybe 100 or more. Sometimes they move in groups of up to 30. They have just had chicks and so they would be best to harvest in about 6 months just before winter here in the southern hemisphere.
