JACKSON, Mich. -- Tri-County International Trucks employee Dave Dodes told the Jackson Citizen Patriot that three wild turkeys scared a truck driver so much that he stayed in his vehicle at a service shop Friday.
He also said a company worker had to create a diversion so the driver could escape, but the turkeys chased both men inside an industrial building. According to Dodes, the birds have been hanging around the service shop but just recently turned aggressive.

The point was if they are chasing you it is not necessary to try to catch them.

This is undoubtedly revenge against the trucker turkey slayers.
I 81 has a very long uphill grade near mile marker 60 as it progresses through the state park, and the north and south bound lanes are at different elevations as they slab the hillside.
Turkeys take off and pass over the down slope south bound lane with adequate altitude to avoid being hit by the big rigs. As they approach the higher elevation of the northbound lane their clearance altitude relative to the road way and more importantly the big rigs roaring down hill, decreases. Southbound big rigs are turkey slayers.
Blam, dead turkeys on the road side.

Well, you know what they say: Some people can learn by reading, most people can learn by observation, but a few just have to whizz on the electric fence for themselves.

Oh, for crying out loud! I was mobbed by 11 of them yesterday. This time nextmonth, there’ll be 50 coming around.
They’re just agressive panhandlers, easily satisfied with a handful or two of cracked corn.
I was hauling in firewood ahead of today’s expected blizzard, when they saw me and came running. When I went back out the door for more, they were between me & the wood pile...it was a welcome break.
I got a scoop of corn from the feed bin, and then got to laugh watching them all fight over each new small batch that was tossed, while abandoning what was already on the ground.

These little guys are desperately hungry. They need to be fed. And no, I am not joking.
