Lets talk turkey!! We saw tons of turkey flocks while up this weekend. Has anybody else thought that the population of wild turkey is high? I never remember seeing that many turkey any other time I have been up. They look healthy and well fed as well, it looks to be a good season for the hunters.

Also saw a few deer. Funny, but all the years and different seasons that I hve been coming up to The Lake, I've only seen a handfull of deer. I bet I saw more deer this past weekend up there, than I have in total for all of my trips north!! They look a little scrawny though, but then again, here in Jersey they live off of corn, soybeans and apples, all of which are farmed hard in my area of the state, so most of the time, deer here are fat and healthy.....
