Don’t have to warn me.
One of them did $1000 damage to the front grill of my car (husband driving) a year or so ago when he ran out into the road on a suicide mission.
I have them all over the back acreage of my place. Friends in the more citified ares of this municipalty complain that they tear up their flower beds. “What do you expect?” I say, “You’re feeding them!”
"Don't go. I'm friendly, where are you going? Stop running! I got pie....!"
get out there with the bow. brine. fire up the ......
Oh man.....I’d love to be in the police station for the morning briefing....
“Bob, have we had any unauthorized turkey activity?”
“No Sarge, but some pigeons have been pooping on the mayor’s car again.”
“Keep a sharp lookout for unauthorized turkey activity. And hey! Let’s all be safe out there.”
Just tell the LEO’s they are funny looking dogs.
wait !
Lemme get my popcorn!
I truly don’t understand the problem here. Offer a bounty but let anybody who bags one keep the meat. Sounds like one of those win-win-win situations to me.

Of course, that might be because there are no liberals here.
Oh wait... maybe that's because of the attack turkeys.
This area of the Florida Panhandle Had just about all the wild turkeys hunted out for the last 30 years or so. I do remember my Father killing a big tom the day before Christmas around 1960.
The state game dept. reintroduced them a few years ago and they have made a remarkable comeback. Twice in the last month or so, I have seen somewhere around 15 to maybe 25 in a group.
They all appeared to be hens to me but there must be toms around.
Last spring, my dog, Dubbers, found a nest of turkey eggs out in the woods somewhere. - She kept showing up at the house with her big old mouth just full of turkey eggs, which she took off and ate before I could stop her. - Nature, I guess.
wild turkeys are delicious!!!(God made them out of turkey meat!!!
Wild turkeys are part of our life in northern California. Some years ago we were showing Lake Tahoe to some friends from Chicago. We stopped at a table on the lake’s shore. Four turkeys saw us having lunch and decided to join us. As they came up to the table a large van loaded with people looking for a lunch spot pulled in and asked if we were about to leave. I said yes but they would have to give our friends something to eat. A lady in the group I think wanted to pull my/our leg(s) so she asked ‘Oh what are your friends names’. The question took me off guard for a couple of seconds. Then I responded by pointing at the geese in succession ‘that is Number One, that is Number Two, that is Number Three and that is Number Four.’ The entire bunch had a big laugh and I do believe the other group was feeding the birds by the numbers.
There is a flock of wild turkeys close to where I live. A flock pass by the property next to our house about a month ago. My wife and I have occasionally seen them frolicking on the lawn of a house across the road from the woods where the birds must have their digs. My question: are the people who own the property the turkeys occasionally pass time on allowed to shoot or trap them if they’re on their property?
