Last week we had 20 turkeys next door at the farm under the Washington Strawberry apple tree. Saturday I went over to do some trimming on the tree. There was not a single apple left on the ground. These scroungers ate up everything. They probably had a little help from the deer too.The Turkeys were back this evening View attachment 1220203
We throw the bad apples out the side door still have a few box’s left from the apple trees . The turkeys actually scare off the deer . Guess it’s just the shear number of them . I didn’t get the other 30 or so in the front yard at the same time.Last week we had 20 turkeys next door at the farm under the Washington Strawberry apple tree.

Now that is a thought about using both arms. I don't think my left shoulder would appreciate it. My right elbow is still sore from all the leaf blowing and leaf sucking that I did 2 weeks ago. It doesn't help that I never give it a rest when it does bother me.They do drink the fuel. Typically re-fuel at about an hours run time. I frequently use both hands on the nozzle to spread the load on my right arm. Usually run for 3-5 hours pretty much steady.
I hope that you have a few in the freezer.We throw the bad apples out the side door still have a few box’s left from the apple trees . The turkeys actually scare off the deer . Guess it’s just the shear number of them . I didn’t get the other 30 or so in the front yard at the same time.

Why choose? The only real choice is how many freezers.Turkeys deer or apples ?
Edit : chipper1 beat me to it
I have a large chest freezer and an upright . Not hunting this year they are both fullWhy choose? The only real choice is how many freezers.
Same. Just put half a hog in one right before deer gun started. Our fridge/freezer needs the coils cleaned, it's on the list, and slowly moving to the top. We also have a chest freezer for storage in the woodshed, and an extra fridge/ freezer in the woodshed I planned on using in the barn when I get it more finished.I have a large chest freezer and an upright .

a wise choice...standing snags are one of the most dangerous, unpredictable critters in our forests. EAB has created these disasters broadly. Take care... walking away is a good call.I do have one that the top section is caught up in another tree and hardly sitting on the trunk where it snapped, just gonna let time and gravity take care of that one
My BR 430 is the thirstiest 2 stroke I own… this as it runs at full throttle for long periods. That said it’s probably still cheaper to run than most of my saws as there are no bar oil or chain costs, and other than an air filter it hasn’t needed any maintenance/repair.Anyone have an idea on fuel consumption rate for a Stihl BR-420 backpack blower? I've burned about 14 gallons of fuel so far but no idea how many hours that would equate to (other than too damn many!)
Nice! We get them as regular visitors here in SWPA as well.
Ah yes the flying chainsaw
Ahh , I can smell it from here,Grass fed beef all the way to the right for my wife
Grass fed Venison for the daughter and I on the left
Delicious
Thanks for coming hunting today Uncle Mike
We’ll get you another one on the farm soon

Got a few of those noisy buggers as residents here. Kids live watching them run up and down trees. One in particular has been standing dead right in the other side of the property line for years now. The peckers have hokes poked all over it.

Sunday, while volunteer working on restoration in local Forest Preserve I came across a snag HANGING FROM ANOTHER TREE... (we've been dealing with dead Ash from EAB for years) Now dead leaners is dangerous enough but this one is free swinging - off the ground! 55 tall, 12" dab. so maybe ~ 600# of mystery... (it's been refereed to FP's resource dept to deal with...as it's to worrysome that some one like kids might start swinging it) (note there are a couple of others in the background that will be left to Natures time)
