Turkeys out my Window
« on: April 20, 2010, 07:01:39 PM »
Sunday morning I had daughter duty while my wife was out of town.  I took her to the cabin but we did our hunting from the bedroom window.  First the jakes came by:
[yt=425,350]<object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Bk6NhOVj9us&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Bk6NhOVj9us&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>[/yt]

Then two toms came by:
[yt=425,350]<object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/HP2Ae0L0ki4&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/HP2Ae0L0ki4&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>[/yt]

So when they cleared the edge of the window I grabbed the camera and tripod and headed to the living room window and found more toms running my way!
[yt=425,350]<object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Fzb95P0ldi8&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Fzb95P0ldi8&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>[/yt]

A fight broke out behind the fireplace and in a couple of minutes they were all gone.  This isn't the first time we've been amazed by their inability to see through windows.  Perhaps there is enough reflection to confuse them?

Good stuff Duk! Thanks for the post!
