OT 53 turkeys in the yard right now
It's actually kinda creepy seeing this big flock flow through the yard, heads down, pecking at this and that. All hunched over, jerky steps, going in the same general direction. I'll probably see them sweep by again later this afternoon.

Sorry, I got the count wrong. They moved out of the trees into the meadow in a long, broad line, so I got to count again. Most of them are just standing around looking at each other in the rain. The new total is 102, a new record.

Turkeys are growing in numbers rapidly here in Oregon because they've learned to stay near houses where they wont get hunted.
Many parts of Oregon where tukeys were transplanted, they have become almost domesticated. Folks that don't hunt feed them and protect them. The rest of us pay for F&G to raise and transplant them.
Hope they're still in your yard come spring turkey season!

That is what archery equipment is made for. The same thing is happening in my part of the world. Many animals such as deer and turkey are learning to live behind houses and in small patches of woodland. The bow and arrow is ideal for that .
I've taken a lot of deer in what you could call a suburban environment. Take some turkey with the bow.
