Yep there is a large herd of the darn things on the south end of Camano Island as well....in Idaho there was a guy who raised wild turkey pheasants etc nearby and he said the wild turkeys are nutz and do not domesticate and they are a pain to contain hence why we had wild turkeys on the Payette river in Emmett Idaho......I dont like turkeys :dunno:

They are not domestic and they are Merriams.

Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I wasn't going to say anything about the North Bend birds but since it was already brought up I have seen  birds the last 4 times I've gone over I-90 The past few weeks.  In 30 years of driving back and forth I never saw a bird and then right off the highway I see numerous birds on trips 4/4 times?  When I saw the birds I wasn't thinking domestic but I'm no expert, that's for sure.

He got close enough I could have just grabbed him.  I was over taking those pictures by the Nike store at the outlets.  To many people were watching it though.

ha ha such a small world. My wife and I took a trip up to north bend on sunday the 19th to check out the under armour outlet store and saw this same thing. when we saw it there were 4 staters chasing it on foot trying to get it off the road.
Wednesday morning of this week, while entering I90 the car behind me almost hit one.  Then when they swerved, they almost rolled the car.
