I didn't realize they could be dangerous.

One day I had to stop the car so a mother could lead her brood across the road. Another time when my wife investigated a noise in the woods, she found six poults hopping around. She thought it was cute until the hen went after her. Unfortunately our turkey problem has been solved by the coyotes. Not the best trade off since we have a dog.

My husband shot two wild turkeys at our farm in the spring, and we'll be having them for dinner on Thursday, smoked on our Weber grill. <br /><br />Mmmmm.<br /><br />Out in the country the turkeys are much more wary, as are the deer. Not so likely to attack humans, thank goodness.Karen in Ohionoreply@blogger.com
