snapper Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 Here are a couple of pictures of the turkey's feeding in the grape vines just on the other side of the driveway. They walked acrossed the yard and driveway and a few flew into the vines...the rest battled over what fell on the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrelhunter91 Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Re: Pictures (winter feeding) Lucky you snapper! Turkeys in your yard! I had turkeys in my yard in mid September. I didn't even know that we had turkeys in the woods by me and one day a few jakes showed up and I had them a gobbling with my calls.. lol...Great pics by the way!

13littleones Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Re: Pictures (winter feeding) Snapper...... let me get this staight..... The turkeys are not roosting..... The 3 turkeys are flying up in the tree to nock food to the forest floor so the rest of the flock has a meal... Then they move on?????? Have you seen this before???? I mean for turkeys to fly up in the vines and their only purpose to do this is to nock food down for the rest of the flock......?????

snapper Posted December 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Re: Pictures (winter feeding) Yes...I've seen them feed like this before, just the first time I ever got pictures of it. After feeding in this spot for about 30-45 mins. they moved about 60 yards back in further to another patch of vines. What I don't understand is...what the pecking order is. Seems to me that the birds in the trees/vines eat as much as they want and whatever falls...the rest fight over. I would think they would all want in the tree. Good idea to plant some wild grape vines if you have the land to do so. Winter can be tough on the birds...esp. if there is a layer of ice to scratch through.

Squirrelhunter91 Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Re: Pictures (winter feeding) Planting the grapes might attract a bear or two as well as the turkeys.. On our land and on the land around ours, there are natural growing blackberries, raspberries and blue berries.. On any given morning when there are berries on the bushes, you can always find a flock of turkeys on the berries... I have walked up on bears with their faces buried in the blueberry bushes.. pretty scary.. the grapes sound like a good idea though..
