They're a bit a a nuisance around here. I get 'em in my backyard.
Saw 6 2nd year I lived here, made the mistake of feeding them.
Next year I had 22.

I've heard that they are quite friendly and will pretty much move in if fed.
A friend of mine has a Golden Retriever that got to be friends with one,
and they'd take turns chasing each other around his yard.

It wasn't that the turkeys were so bad, it's that our Scottie dog (since
passed) at the time thought they left behind this wonderful perfume she
just *loved* to roll around in!

Turkey season is just about to close here....

My plan was to get them really trusting of you and fatten them up by
giving them lots of food...then, one cold day, they are all invited into
your garage to stay warm, the garage door closes behind them, and they
never emerge again.
Hunting them with guns is wasteful in both time and ammunition.
All you really need is a machete. Hell, most of them will probably die
from cardiac arrest once they see the first heads starting to fly
around. :-)
