One of the things that I really like about going to my cabin are the animal neighbors I get to see. They are lots of deer and birds that I don;t get to see regularly during my work week. One of my favorites are:
These turkeys that I see along the roads near my cabin. I usually see them in flocks like this, sometimes as many as 15 or 20 of them. They are even up near yards picking through seeds that are put out in yards and in driveways.
I've put up a feeder behind my cabin hoping that they find the it and stop to visit right outside my windows. Right now, there are chickadees, purple finches and nuthatches mainly, but someday they may start to stop by.

This may be a sensitive question, but are you allowed to shoot the turkeys, and do you?
There are two "Turkey" seasons here in Michigan - In the SPring hunt, one can only harvest Toms (males). In the Fall one can shoot either sex. The hunting is regulated closely with a lottery system in place to determine who can hunt them. This is unlike other game which can be hunted with the purchase of license (such as our white tailed deer, grouse, or pheasants.) Black Bears and Elk are also by lottery.
I don't hunt much, but my brother does.
