Hi All,
 
Fellow Brush Turkey victim checking in.  The link to my blog about our 
love/hate relationship with Brush Turkeys is below.  It's been very quiet on 
the 'turd' front at our place over winter.  Although I did see a female turkey 
inspecting the mound the other day on my way out.  
 
Anyway, if you feel inclined to contribute to my blog about them or even follow 
it, check it out - www.scrubturkeychronicles.blogspot.com .
 
Cheers,
 
Inger
