Wild turkey are extremely difficult to hunt according to a nature film I once saw.

New I think they are going downhill too...
For a change, my wife, puppies, and myself had Thanksgiving by ourselves at our cabin on the Ohio/Pennsylvania border(as opposed to 10 guests at home, with another dozen dropping in at irregular intervals.) There was a flock of ~8 wild turkeys wandering in the woods by the side of the road. I could have knocked one over with a rock. I guess they just felt safe near a state park :)
On the other hand, everything was low key there; the whole town closed down and everybody took the day off. They even shut down the McDonalds. Kinda neat... I was seriously impressed.
