Turkeys eat a lot of stuff. I missed one when I pulled the trigger as he bent down for a lizard. Scared hell out if him.

Eight inches of snow this time of year. Unbelieveable. Right now I'm visiting family in Florida where it got down to 42° last night in a rare cold wave. Black bears love it. Central FL had its 2nd bear attack on humans -- mother bear with cubs raiding trash cans in the sub burbs. The old controversy of whether or not to hunt them is starting up.

I wonder if wolves will risk attacking hogs when the latter get to Minnesota. I'm not sure what pumas think about them. Not many predators for them except us.
