Those turkeys can get large, eh? And I think they can fly short
distances, like over walls(and electric fences). I've known folks to
plant more than they need just to give the local wildlife their cut,
but a turkey could damage a lot more than just his cut. I'm going for
fully enclosed wire mesh fencing! Tom


They fly _very_ well. The one the dog and I scared out - or got scared by -
this morning gained fifty feet or more in altitude in the first hundred feet
and flew with power to a spruce about 600 feet away.

I guess the Buddhist prayer wheel approach is the one I'll take. Been
wanting to get a couple whirligigs made anyway.

And I do so love fresh peas....
