Ok I thought I had seen everything until I was in North Dallas yesterday morning and had 16 turkeys both hens & toms walk past me in a neiborhood just NE of Walnut Hill & Midway road! WTF? I thought I had lost my mind! When I started asking the neibors all they said was "we have no idea how they got here? They just showed up about 2 years ago" one guy told me that he has seen as many as 26 birds at one time! A couple of those toms had 10" beards on them!

That's crazy, but a great place for them to be. Except for autos, they should be pretty safe.

I would hope that a guy with the screen name of "Texas Turkey Hunter DFW" would know the difference between the two species.

When I lived in Folsom CA, we had them in the appt complex. About 6 toms and a bunch of hens. It was always fun to call to them and get the Toms gobbling right in the middle of the city.

Have seen turkeys about where Josey and the Bush tollway are now before it was built. There were Turkeys stocked near there a few years ago. Not giving out any details, but it's a fact.
Life is too short, as is. Don't chance it.
Don't text and drive.

Oh no! Invasion of the Wild Guineas, watch out hogs, they will take over your range and there is no season on them.

2 years ago I saw a red fox about 100 yards off 35 in the middle of Lewisville towards the lake. Middle if the night and it was hanging out by a 7-11 eating a ditched hot dog or something.
