Now that you mention it, me too!!!

Just finished the last of the turkey yesterday.

My guess is they didn't have cattle expressly for meat then. At least that's how it seemed at Plymouth Plantation. They had oxen for pulling plows and maybe milk cows but I don't think they had steers. Might be wrong. I do know they probably wouldn't have survived without the local natives helping them.

My son and I were just talking about turkeys on the way home from a quad ride last Saturday. We were going through an area west of Boston, MA and I was telling him how, when I was a kid, there weren't any turkeys around here. They were all west of the Connecticutt River. VT had plenty too. The first wild turkeys we saw were just west of me and in the last 30 years we've gone from none to seeing them almost everyday. We saw a flock of about 15 hens while riding. Now I'm hungry again.

 

up unitl a few years back we had no wild turkeys around either, but now we have tons all over the place. i had a dumb bird flew into my drivers side mirror of my car the other day. glad my window was up or i would had an early thanksgiving tirkey lol. oh and i'm eating the last of it tonight.
