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!”
Luckily, I was able to duck under one (I was riding my Ducati at the time) who decided to take off from one side of the road for their roosting trees on the other side near dusk a couple of years ago. Scared the heck out of me. It missed me by a couple of feet, but I have no doubt that hitting it (either with my bike or body) would have been a very bad thing.

I live in central, rural Kentucky. Here we shoot and eat them. Lots of quality protein and VERY tasty.
I have the benefit of living on a small farm in a patch of about 9 acres of grass where nobody can see us. I can shoot turkey, deer, you name it, whenever I want.
