So after opening gifts and such yesterday morning I took off into the hills behind my inlaws home in LaFayette, GA looking for some squirrels to put on the dinner table.
No luck yesterday but I ran into a big flock of tukeys (8 or 9 big ones) grazing on the hill behind our house. When I went back out this morning to do some additional scouting I ran into what I assume is the same flock on the back side of the hill just at the edge of our property.
Anyway I've never seen the turkeys before (and dangit, Georgia doesn't have a winter gobbler season) and am wondering if the lack of squirrels (I didn't see a single one or even evidence of one where usually there are dozens running about) and the appearance of the turkeys is related.
I know some coyotoes have moved into the area, but haven't really seen evidence of them on our property. Its just sort of strange that the squirrels have totally disappeared. The turkeys seemed to look at our hilll as some sort of all you can eat smorgasboarg.
Any thoughts? Anyone in Northwest Georgia with any thoughts or pointers to where the squirrels are?
