    Had some visitors in the driveway this morning, about 16 of them. Still below zero now. Nice to see some wildlife show up. Haven;t seen many deer this winter.

    Stinny, wouldn't that be a flock rather than a herd?

    my bride has had turkeys as pets(yea I know) and I am amazed at how their feet don't freeze right off. they will stand in freezing water and act like it is nothing.

    You guys are flocking nuts! :thumbs:9 out of 10 turkey hunters round here say a group of turkeys is rightly called a rafter, raffle, or posse of turkeys.
