Witnessed a few fly into a tree one day in Waikoloa, never realized a turkey could fly! Thanks for the info Pat – and welcome to Hawai`i Life! It’s so awesome to see you working along side Katie and her crew! With Aloha – Sandy C. Shore

Tried eating wild turkey once. tough and stringy. They are in no danger of extinction :-)

If you live on the Big Island you don’t even have to buy your turkey for Thanksgiving! Though I prefer fish ;-)

We have flocks of wild turkeys in Puako – it’s a riot to watch the neighborhood animals, usually so fierce and protective about their territory, slink away in the face of these creatures! My friend Pete, who has lived in Puako for about 25 years now, says they wouldn’t be good eatin’ turkeys anyway – too grisly and tough! Not like our juicy, succulent (mmm…deep-fried)turkeys straight from KTA or Foodland on thanksgiving day… but I digress… gobble gobble.

Mahalo, Pat, I have often wondered as I stopped to let a family of turkeys cross the road at Kohala Ranch or scared the flock that lives in the mac nut orchards where I take my daily run.

16,000 Turkeys. Will there be more or less Turkey after Thanksgiving Day? It should stay the same if you are a vegetarian. Mahalo for your information….
