Interesting choice of subject lines. I might have taken offense....
I wondered at that, but no longer being interested in the outdoors
magazines I was raised on (and having gotten very far from the dirt I
was raised on), I didn't know if it was regional or widespread. I only
knew that since I got here, people have been talking of wild turkey
sightings, and wondered if had always been that way.
