Happy Thanksgiving

That’s what he gets for sticking his neck out.

It takes a lot of Wild Turkey to put up with the relatives on Thanksgiving.

“Ahem, beg your pardon!”

It will be quick and painless and you may feel like you lost your head, but it’s a part of life.

Fly!

I don’t think they have much to worry about. Wild turkeys are too thin, so not likely to be selected for a dinner.

No worries. Wild turkeys are too scrawny for today’s consumer tastes.

i doubt that anyone ever wrote a song called walk on the tame side…

Just try to blend in. Maybe he won’t notice you.

Where’d I leave that video of Sarah Palin standing in front of the toothless guy stuffing a live turkey into a woodchipper?

Don’t let the door hit your tail feathers On the waaaaaaay ouuuuut

My wife of 57 years and I wish each of you a very fine day wherever you are.

To all of you celebrating today, HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

( … and if you don’t think you have anything to be thankful for – Check your pulse! )

#1. Open mouth.

#2. Insert foot.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

this is a re-run. disappointed.

Yes, yes, I enjoy Wild Turkey as well.

He’d heard that there were big plans for dinner and some football afterwards.

‘Axe not what you can do for your turkey…’

Too funny, Wiley………….. Happy Thanksgiving!!

Here on the west side of Madison, Wisconsin, we’ve got a whole lot of wild turkeys. They travel in flocks, mainly on the ground. They are very large, very impressive birds. I can see why Ben Franklin thot them to be worthy candidates for our national symbol.

A Wish for Wings that Work.

The ‘Axe Murderer’ is at the door!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving all. May your Turkey be moist and tender and your gravy not be lumpy! ;^)

We never should have domesticated humans.

We’d be a lot better off.

Happy Thanksgiving to All!!

Second Turkey: “You better hope that other turkey up in D.C. can pardon us in time before that guy there lowers the ax!”

Mister “I’m tired of the wild life” fell for the “Free Food” Scam.

And I thought that those type of things only happened to me.

The wild turkeys are too meat poor and would be thrown out alive.

I had a friend who raised a few ducks. He had a chicken-wire roofed pen where he fed them reliably and without stinting. In the late summer, he opened the pen and let them wander. When the wild ducks came by headed south, sometimes one or several of his ducks would leave with them. The next fall, the whole flock would drop in, and he’d let them feed, then shut the pen. That evening, he’d go out and take just a few of the younger ducks, whether domestic or otherwise, and re-open the pen. All winter long, the ducks would feed themselves somewhere in the south. He’d feed them a little bit as they went by headed north to feed and breed… and the cycle would repeat. He got all the duck meat he wanted for only a little bit of feed and effort. Smart fellow.

If only the wild turkeys that infest my neighborhood would volunteer for decapitation….
