Death by turkey?
|
Death by turkey? The Spawn and I were headed back the house after our walk last night when.... From the corner of my eye.... I spied a brown blob moving through the bushes. Turning see what exactly was that I was seeing, I soon discovered was a BUNCH of brown blobs moving through the bushes. "What the hell??" In a flash, three wild turkeys had popped out of their hiding spots and were staring us down in the middle of the road. Eye Eye "They kind of menacing Mom." I was waiting for the boxing gloves come out and the announcer begin speaking..... 'And in this corner we have Secret_lade! She hails from the town of Bellaire and has an irrational fear of getting her eyes gouged out by large birds with talons.' "I think that one's<b> giving </font></b>me the side-eye. The thing missing is a leather jacket and a pack of smokes rolled up in the sleeve of his t-shirt." We stood for a long moment, eyeballing each other in the setting sun, when suddenly they turned and stumbled away. Thank God. I really do have an irrational fear of getting my eyes gouged out by bird talons.... I'm going have start carrying that corn! Happy Tuesday! |

They where thinking the same thing. Walking stick can help out for your own piece of mind All my years out in the woods hunting I never been attacted by a wild turkey. Friend did but that was at a house where they where eating nthe old lady chicken feed. Still wild yet not afraid of people.

I've not come across wild turkeys, only roast turkeys! I don't hnow whether they can be aggressive like geese and swans.

There was old TV drama: Richman Poorman, When little brother, Peter Strauss, got beat up by the bad guy, Falcon Eddie, William Smith, big brother, Nick Nolte, would, "Put on a leather jacket and a pack of smokes rolled up in the sleeve of his t-shirt." and wup up on Falcon Eddie! Woke up some brain cells on that one...... Best photo I could find...

I reckon those feathered freaks are more likely to be 10 times more afraid of you than you are of them McLade........though I understand that pecked human eyes are quite the tasty treat in the bird world!!

You may want to invest in a stun gun as well. They're small so easy to carry and if you're mobbed by turkeys, you don't actually have to stun them, just do a quick "zap" and the sound will likely startle them into moving away. Or wait for them to get close, zap one and take it home for dinner. lol

It might be easier said than done but what about carrying a gun next time. You know Thanksgiving is coming up soon.

I thought you were a wild-turkey girl, I just thought it was the other kind of Wild Turkey. It’s either carry corn or a shotgun on your walking adventures? Or, maybe just the sound of a shotgun, on your phone? Your choice, obviously …
