Turkeys

We have a band of hooligan turkeys roaming the streets and attacking people in our little town. My wife won't walk down the street without carrying a big stick and yesterday a woman got spurred and posted a picture of her bleeding hand on Facebook. Even dogs and cats aren't safe in their own yards. A lot of people are concerned, and the main worry is that sooner or later a small child is going to get seriously hurt. Although I did see one redheaded six-year-old girl chasing them down the street with a broom stick the other day.

We are told we can't kill them because they are a protected game bird. The city says they can't do anything because it is the responsibility of ODFW and ODFW seems to have better things to worry about. I think it's going to come to a head soon though, and some turkey birds are gunna die. And hopefully we will find out who's feeding them and chase them down the street with a broom stick.
 
Getting excited here in KY. Youth is next weekend!! Got the .410 mossberg dusted off and the kid is ready to put the whammy on a big gobbler. Thankfully seeing a lot on the farm this year. Trapping those nest raiders paying dividends.
 
With any luck I hope to be out in about a week and a half to scout a new spot. Archery, sliver of public between a large park and some residential properties.
