I realize some people like the turkeys and some don't but remember some things. These are wild animals introduced for the purpose of being hunted.Our game license dollars were used to get them here. Second I have spent some time chasing these things and I can tell you that if they are walking around town it's because someone is feeding them. It might be accidental like leaving out dog food or bird feeders but they'll only stay where there is food. If you really have lived around where turkeys are in their home range while the breeding season happens you will not like them so much anymore. They are very destructive and a older Tom can super aggressive, and believe it or not they can be dangerous. I hunted an area for years and was never able to get permission to hunt a particular piece of property. until the year the dominant Tom spurred and killed their lab. Next year I was on it with no problem. (Obviously I wouldn't do that in Dallas......come to think of it you can use a BOW for them though....
I was chased by one when I was very young. The only thing that saved my skinny lil butt was...my skinny lil butt sliding under the front porch. :shock: Our neighbors' dog was my hero for months after coming to my rescue. I still don't trust birds bigger than my fist...:naughty:
