I have had up to 15 Different Wild Turkeys on my front Lawn this Summer eating the birdseed, I give them. My Brother in Law has a flock that visits his lawn regularly. I saw a good 20 Turkeys on State Land last weekend. I live in Orange County- just 52 miles from NYC. Looking forward to the 3rd week in October!!
My Brother in Law also has a few big Gobblers that visit his Lawn a few days a week. They are safe however as where he is and the same with me is Zoned Residential--No Hunting. Out Hiking today and there is good sign on another State area, I have my eye on. I am looking forward to hopefully busting Birds in every direction at a full run. This Old Man River can still run a bit-LOL.
With the warm dry weather we had in most areas this spring I expect to see a fair number of birds. I will hunt the northern zone sometime the first week of October.
Hope it goes good for ya'll, I won't be turkey or deer hunting this year unfortunately.
