Our neighbor with a vacation home here in Deer Meadow Eststes, Jake, hunted this wild turkey on our land. 
Our property is a well-established wild turkey nesting area that the deer are also attracted to.

I snapped this shot of wild turkeys running past our cabin! (On October 23 2007 in front of Husson Hollow Creek) Seeing these turkeys is occasional on most trips, there are many of them there.

Larry's horses came by to visit. You can see Point Meadow behind them.  This picture was taken from the cabin's West porch Oct 25 2007.

Let's all be there!
