Wild Turkey

 It's turkey season again.  Turkey season in my state runs from September - January (though here in the Northwoods they end it right after Thanksgiving).  It picks up again mid-April thru May.  Since turkeys lay eggs in April and May, I can only assume that the DNR (Department of Natural Resources) must think we have too many turkeys.  It's a perfect environment for them here.  They want open fields with forests nearby.   Watched this group make their way across the meadow.  Whenever they got spooked they went stark still w/ their heads raised up.  Would stay that way for awhile before one would break the spell and continue on.  Can't see it as a good strategy if they are being hunted - must work for them though.
