there have been quite a few confrontations in the news over the last couple years between turkeys and humans. one lady couldnt get in her car, turkey chased her around it--her friends got quite a kick out of it. but the males have some vicious spurs, they can do some damage.

Danzig,
If you ever find your way to the Catskills in May, I'd be more than pleased to call in a gobbler for you.
Hunting starts two hours before sun up and ends at noon...then the fly fishing on the West Branch of the Delaware. Big browns.
Life can indeed be very good.
Toga won't be running yet, but the horses at the farm are nearby, and some will have shipped in to start training at Toga ( about an hour away).

Sounds like a plan...I'm not sure of the opening date for Belmont, but if you come in late May, you might find a very good time.
Belmont is about two and half hours away.

Well, whenever the time comes.
The door is always open.
File it for later.
May is what we get to savor after going through a cold early Feb.
Not that I'm complaining.
Early June is pretty nice too...the Belmont day...
Do I sound like I have "cabin fever"?
Maybe Genuine Risk will meet up with us when your schedule permits.
