Turkey Pictures (neat but sad)
Went for a walk last evening with camera in hand.
This was once a beautiful farm with abundant game.
It is now in the process of being turned into a high end
Housing development.
Not sure what house tastes like, but me thinks house will
Be on the menu when all the farm fields are growing nothing but house’s.

Make way for the Yuppie Pup Tents!(probably 500K-1M dollar pup tents at that)

Re: Turkey Pictures (neat but sad)
Great pics, sad and VERY familiar story. I've seen it myself. High density McMansions normal folk could never afford. Overseas money fueling the next real estate bubble, tearing up farms and woodlots with not so much as a park bench between them. It's no wonder the kids have nothing to do but sit at home and get flabby. Like the song goes:
My childhood memories
Slowly swirled past
Like the wind through the trees...
I went back to Ohio
But my pretty countryside
Had been paved down the middle
By a government that had no pride
The farms of Ohio
Had been replaced by shopping malls
And muzak filled the air
From Seneca to Cuyahoga Falls
Said, Eh, Oh, Oh way to go Ohio

Re: Turkey Pictures (neat but sad)
the turkeys will probably stay, it's just the hunters who will have to go.

Re: Turkey Pictures (neat but sad)
I feel for ya, took 200 mile drive last weekend lookin at my old rabbit spots,
they are all houses now, kinda why I don't bird hunt much any more either,
got tired of homeowners displacing the game and callin the sheriff.

Re: Turkey Pictures (neat but sad)
I live in the country in a neighborhood of one-acre lots developed about 35 years ago, so I guess I am a guilty party. And yet, at least I will admit it. What really gripes me is these folks that blame the hunters for the loss of wildlife. Responsible hunting has NEVER permanently reduced wildlife populations. For that you need loss of habitat, and there's nothing like a subdivision to eliminate wildlife for good.
Here in my valley, the California cancer of vineyards has metastasized and is spreading fast. I am saddened every time I hear the old rooster pheasants that used to have 40 acres to fool around in down the street calling forlornly in the little old pioneer cemetery. There's no place for a pheasant to hide among the new pinot gris plantings ...

I honestly can't remember the last time I heard one.
We wont even discuss those stocked birds they throw out on the game lands every fall.
Heck they can’t even fly, and most of them wonder out on the roads and
Get hit by cars.
