 Joshua snapped a pic of an Eastern making a bee line across the back pasture. First one we have seen in a couple of years.

Very cool A.B. I saw some tracks near Gilmer once but have never seen a turkey in ET.

I've thought about going to see if any are wandering around an old timber tract my family has had for generations outside of San Augustine. If I call the neighbor and ask if he's seen any, I know, in typical deep east Texas fashion, that the answer will be "Oh, no, never," no matter what the truth is.
Good on you guys for keeping a sharp eye out.

I saw one up north of Wells a few years back...

They were brought in back in the 80's. Used to see them a lot, but not any in several years. Maybe the are making a come back.

There used to be a large flock in Cass County north east of Hughes Springs on a deer lease I was on then they just disappeared. Wish they were still there and and hope yours stays around.

Wonderful!! Seen them twice on my place. One flock of 8-10 and one pair. Both times they were getting out of there fast.
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.
