Lucky...

These got away...

My brother has a flock of wild turkeys living on the 'back fourty' of his property
Each Thanksgiving he hunts down a bird for the family dinner
I don't know if I could eat meat if I were to have to kill the animal
One minute I am admiring it the next it is on my plate
~
At least I know it had a good life
A wild life
Not the life of a butterball turkey
Those I can NOT eat
I will not eat
~
I did learn how hard it was to photograph them though
They are fast!
And my brother says they are mean
I'll have to take his word on that one
~
I would be mean too
Wouldn't you
