Fitting...

Since yesterday dealt primarily with stupid people doing stupid things, may I present to you my backyard, circa yesterday morning:

Gobbles!

I count somewhere north of three dozen turkeys right there. Here's a close-up of some of the toms:

Good Eatin'!

You know what the best part about this was? BabyGirl G. took one look at the parade of turkeys sauntering through our backyard and looked at her daddy with a face all earnest and bright, and proceeded to tell me:

"Daddy! Go get your gun and we'll have more than enough turkey for Thanksgiving!"
Yes. That's my girl.

That is all.

No comment, of course, on whether or not your freezer has more turkey in it now than it did yesterday...

You can practice calling them right in your back yard!

Who needs a silencer (we're not talking about want here...that's a different matter entirely)? All you need to do is leave a trail of bread crumbs leading to the super secret turkey processing area.

Hell I was thinking about simply saving all the spent fireworks you find in the gutter and in the trash for the following scenario.

-Spy Turkeys
- Quick application of shotshells.
- Safe weapon and tuck away inside the house.
-Walk out into the backyard sprinking a few spent cherry bombs and other chi-com chemical noise makers into the grass.
-Collect culled birds and deposit them in your garage in a trash bag.

-Clean birds after the kids have gone to bed and chance of Jonny Law (That isn't your dad) stopping by has gone back to baseline.



Jonny Law: "Mr. G, we got a report of gunshots in the area"
Jay: "Oh shit, sorry, I found some old firecrackers in my basement I thought I'd touch them off. You think that was it?"

Get yourself an air rifle and fill that freezer!

crossbow or regular bow & arrow won't leave the neighbors wondering who's shooting.....

My parents live about 20min N of Boston, and come home to a similer sight most days this time of year

Snares. Does the new Boy Scout manual have snares next to the tracking pages?
