November 11, 2008 – Turkey Predators?
Yesterday afternoon I went out to the pasture for something or other and found an unwelcome sight. Something had killed and started to eat one of our 15 turkeys. As I was walking down, a hawk flew away, but I’m not sure that is what got the turkey.
I know not everyone would like to see the turkey remains as I found them, but for those who are curious, just click the Turkey carcass link to see. Whatever it was, it ate the head and neck, picked at one leg and wing and a lot of the breast skin and some of the breast meat. We tithe 10% to nature before taking action, so we hope it was a one-time attack so we don’t have to confine the turkeys in a building the last week or so of their natural turkey lives.
