No smartass remarks, please- a serious question. How hard can a wild
turkey peck? Is it hard enough to break an insulated glass panel in a
sliding door? I threw some birdseed out onto the deck, since I was too
lazy to suit up just to fill the bird feeders in the rain, and the
cardinals that were lined up on schedule looked so sad and wet. Half an
hour later, sitting here in the other room at the computer, I hear a
loud banging from the kitchen, and run to investigate. I find a young
tom repeatedly and with increasing ferver, pecking/head butting his
reflection in the very dirty glass. 3 or 4 of his buddies were raptly
watching, so he wasn't backing off. I had to actually bang on the glass
to spook them back down into the yard, when usually ANY movement on my
side of the glass sends them scurrying.

I don't wanna come home to find my kitchen open to the outdoors, and
covered with glass. How long does turkey spring tough guy season last?
