re: #222 Anymouse

We had a turkey invasion last year in town. The bed and breakfast owner called the gun shop owner and asked for help (they were attacking her back door). He went over to her house swinging a golf club at them to drive them off.

As for Saskatchewan, the south looks an awful lot like here: corn, wheat, hay, tumbleweeds, cattle, just no sandhills. Roads are better in Saskatchewan though.

Practically the whole San Francisco Peninsula is closed to hunting. It’s either suburbs, parks, Open Space, or Watershed land. Part of the last one is an estate that dates to the 1920s, the Filoli estate. It’s along a very pretty road, with no stop signs or cross roads for 4 miles. There’s a large herd of Blacktail deer, and a growing flock of turkeys there. Fat lazy bastards, both of them. No hunters, bears, or wolves to worry with.

I ride past them and there’ll be 20-30 deer sometimes, and about half that many turkeys, just standing there, not a care in the world. Makes me hungry just thinking of it.
