Yeah, I heard they ship 'em here from Vancouver Island

This is a bird sanctuary, so they can't be hassled or shot.......

But honestly, while Morro Bay is a beautiful place, even a turkey would probably never want to leave Vancouver Island. It is equally beautiful, if not more. I've been there.....

You're confusing "shouldn't be" with "can't"

...we'd be having turkey for dinner....

 

[betzner]

we shoot the shooters

Actually, with all the rain in the previous season, there are more of them than ever before, so many they probably need to be thinned out, but that will never happen.

(I know, never confuse "never" with "almost never")

I heard Cali was full of turkeys

Jive turkeys may have flamboyant plumage, but generally fewer feathers.

Lol, they know...but I'm not telling them where they are so the hunt is the funniest part

My wife hit a turkey about a month ago on the way to work. As you can see, she knocked the shit out of it.

Half mile away and the neighborhood has gone to the birds (today's images):

I'm shocked that they roam around freely and without much apparent apprehension like that in your "hood". I mean around here, the coyote contingent would go full on hyena on them turkeys!

Years ago we had a nice big Tom that would actually chase cars on the highway ... he did it a couple years ... I assume after that he caught one ... or someone had a nice dinner.

Ok now my real reason for coming here ... my random thought of tonight is ... are people really that ignorant ? Or am I just pmsn' ?

Lawd the rest of the forum as gotten ahold of the good stuff or there is a gas leak or something ... I think several have lost their minds today and tonight ...

Oh wait my glass is empty ... I doubt that is the problem ... but it might be why it seems extra tonight ...

The beautiful coastline of San Juan Island, as enjoyed by myself and my EDC3 (and maybe a few cold ones)

...I know it's not a CPK pic - these Goose Barnacles (Percebes) are not native to the PNW but they are starting to show up along our coastlines. First time I've seen them in-person; they are pretty crazy and otherworldly looking.

@Benson X, moving my response over here since it is off topic.

What part of the PNW are you in? I just ask because I know that I personally have seen goose neck barnacles in archaeological deposits going back a couple thousand years in Oregon. I don't actually know off the top of my head where the cutoff has traditionally been for them. If you are further north, it would be worth my time to look into their range so that I can figure out if they are a useful climate proxy.

Are you referring to prices people are asking by chance? There have been some real head scratchers lately, especially when people list something for more than it is currently available from a vendor.

 

[JJ_Colt45]

No I have noticed that too lately ... but this was just another sales dispute but it was clear it had been tampered with ... was a total mess ...

and in the cases you mentioned it didn't surprise me that someone would ask for more ... but it does puzzle me as to why someone would and pay $50.00 over new from any dealers cost.
