Im surprised he survived bow hunting season. I’ve heard there’s a surprising amount of turkey hunting in urban areas of MA. Walking through a park yesterday in my suburban town I was surprised to see a sign that said hunting permitted within season.

Listen, I'm an idiot who doesn't know what he's talking about, but I feel like I could punt a turkey pretty far if it ever threatened me in any way. If there's more than one, I'll Riverdance those bitches! I weigh 10x more than them, I feel like I'm gonna win.

They can fly and have 2 inch long spurs on the backs of their legs that they can poke you with. I’m not saying you’re not gonna win the fight, but they can definitely hurt you

Dude....it literally has hollow bones. Just hit it as hard as possible and don't stop. Mammal for the win every time.

Hahaha you’ve never met a turkey. They are bigger than you think. And have a brain the size of a peanut. In that peanut? Survival. That’s it. It would wreck you and then attack your car. They are both the smartest animal or the dumbest animal. We hunt them. They are frustrating to hunt.

I mean I’d probably win a fight if I felt like my life was in danger but I don’t make it a habit to go murdering fowl that decide to get froggy with me.

I was driving when a turkey ran into me. It clipped the right front. My car had a dent. The turkey looked at me like I was an asshole, shook itself and ran off.

Yeah, you're not going to win the potential punting. You may be able to get the kick in, but dude is coming back for you and you might want to run.

Right? I figure grab the closest one by the neck and swing it around to smack the others. You’ll be a scary bedtime story that turkey parents tell their children for generations.

Grab it around the wings so they can't fight and walk around with them a bit to humiliate them. Works for roosters.

Bold move for a turkey today. We’ll have to see how it pans out. 🦃🍗

They’re all over Swampscott. I give kudos to the towns attitude towards them. They’re mostly tolerated (though one horrible woman did in fact run one over on purpose). It’s nice to see the community embrace the “co-exist with wildlife” approach and not the “it’s an inconvenience let’s kill it” strategy

We don’t have a Kevin but one did attack my brothers car lol
