Wild Turkey close up photos can be difficult to capture at any time.

Being in the right place at the right time certainly helps. Of course having a population of wild birds close to my property is a bonus.

Check out these two Wild Turkey photos I snapped the other day.

What do wild turkeys eat in the winter months?

Food can be sparse for all forest critters once the snow flies. Deer and Wild Turkeys can be especially hard hit if the snow is deep.

If you want to help feed deer and wild turkeys in Ontario make sure you use a food that will provide them with the nutrition required for our long cold winter. Straight dried corn kernels or cut hay will cause problems due to the lack of moisture. Fresh foliage helps provide the required moisture when eaten but with the lack of leaves in winter deer turn to other browse.

I purchased a Pro Moultrie Feeder with a fifty-gallon hopper. Set to throw a 50/50 mixture of Rack Stacker Feed and dried corn in the morning and late afternoon has deer and turkeys constantly visiting.

I also feed the local gobblers and hens Rack Stacker Feed just by throwing it on the ground. They prefer to scratch for their food. I made a shelf for deep snow but only squirrels seem to prefer that elevated position.

Rack Stacker Feed can be easily distributed and is cost effective over a long winter. Use an automated feeder, PVC pipe tube or table to keep the feed dry.

The local Deer and Turkeys make for some awesome viewing, especially when the auto feeder starts to spin. Grouse, squirrels and raccoons all make an appearance some time during the day or night.

I installed two Spy-point Pro-X trail cameras close to the feeding area to capture the wildlife events.

I even found a six-point shed antler last week.

If you have a chance give the forest critters some help this winter. Make you own wild turkey or deer feeder and keep it filled with Rack Stacker Feed.

Hope that helps when the kids ask “What do turkeys eat in the winter?”

Muskies Canada Inc. Kawartha Lakes Chapter members Steve Nicholls and David White are looking for pledges from other members to help them out.

This will be happening on February 7th at the Causeway between Bridgenorth and Ennismore.

More info on the Plunge can be found here:

http://www.clubrunner.ca/CPrg/Home/homeD.asp?cid=191

Come join these brave and crazy plungers who dare enter the frigid waters of Chemong Lake because they’re Freezin for a Reason.  Plungers raise funds for their favorite charities and support BEL Rotary’s many charitable endeavors in the process.

More specific info is available on the registration form.

Hot tubs, hot food will be the immediate reward for the plungers and a chance at a prize for the best costume or most funds raised.

If you don’t feel adventurous, you can always come put to support the plungers, laugh at the silly costumes and join in the frolicking with your friends and family.

The event takes place at Rotary Park, Ennismore, at 2 p.m. sharp on Sunday, Feb 7, 2010.  Plungers must be registered by 1:30 pm

Any pledges will surely be appreciated to make this a success for the B-E-L Rotary Club and our Chapter. A great portion of the money raised by our 2 volunteers goes directly to the Chapter and will be used in assisting us with the KTD project and Pike Invasion Project so please help out if you can.

Anyone wishing to pledge money can mail a cheque payable to Muskies Canada Inc. Kawartha Lakes Chapter to:
