Highland Center, in Southeast Iowa | We were very surprised to look out the kitchen window this morning and see 8 turkeys scratching their way thru the front yard. Have lived within 1/4 mile of this spot nearly my whole life, and have never seen turkeys here. We have had a few deer here around home, but not many, and used to have lots of pheasants. We're in a very open, gently rolling area, no timber for cover......as the crow (turkey??) flies, it's probably 4-5 miles to timber of any consequence. The one tom was really large, would have made a shooter pretty happy, I think. |
