I always thought the pilgrims ordered them in on Thanksgiving from Amazon.
Mars…No Amazon…NoIf you believe Paleontologists turkeys might be descendants of dinosaurs.The Surprising Connection Between Turkeys and T. RexBy George Frederick published November 05, 2012A few days after Thanksgiving dinner, a popular tradition calls for two people to grab opposite ends of a dried wishbone and pull until the bone breaks in two.The irony: The wishbone is special because it's one piece.The furcula (the technical term for a wishbone) is formed by the fusion of two collarbones at the sternum. The furcula is an important part of a bird's flight mechanics — a connecting point for muscles and a strengthening brace for wings. The bone is elastic and acts as a spring that stores and releases energy during flapping. (Ever try to snap a wishbone before it's been dried?)Scientists once thought the furcula was unique to birds. Paleontologists now tell us that the bone dates back more than 150 million years to two-legged, meat-eating dinosaurs including the Tyrannosaurus and Velociraptor. These reptilian movie stars didn't fly. Their furculas likely served as structural supports as the dinos held their prey.The furcula is a key component of the commonly accepted theory that birds are the descendants of dinosaurs.
The habitat is a little thick, we had it select cut about 5 years ago. It’s perfect for deer but not as good for the turkey. A biologist with the state has already came out and rode the whole property. He thinks Interstate 20 which is a 4 lane highway is acting like a wall to keep them from dispersing onto us. We are surrounded by ag fields and a river runs through the whole property. I can’t get pictures to load or I would drop a map picture. I wouldn’t be transporting birds from public to private. We have a family friend with land that has turkeys. He agreed to let us trap a few and release them. As far as food plots and all. We have plenty. I’d say we have over 60 acres of plots.
Gobblenut, it has me puzzled as well. The area across the highway has had birds for years and years. I’m 37 and when I was a young kid there were birds there so no they are not newly there. We do have a lot of predators as far as coons, possums, bobcat, and coyote. But the thing is there are as many or more where the turkeys are at so I don’t see that being a difference maker either. I don’t know but it is frustrating. We plant wheat, oats, and clover every year. Lots and lots of Ag fields all around us.
