It was cute when the turkeys first turned up on our deck clucking and cooing... that lasted a whole 10 minutes.
"Now, honestly what damage can a turkey do? Their birds for crying out loud, birds only poop on things." This statement has been echoed by most everyone I have told.
Now I could have taken the constand and surprisingly loud 6-8am *THUD*... *THUD*.... GOBBLEGOBBLEGOBBLE, and the ungodly amound of poo around our house, but when they attack the Cougar... damned if that isn't blood!
I live in the rural area around Sioux Falls, so by the time I get back from town the engine and hood are nicely warmed. Durring these chilly late winter / early spring mornings most animals are just looking to keep warm and my hood must be the best thing in the area. Not even a year after I buy my car, It's going to cost $250 to fix dents and re-spray the clear coat from the scratches. There is only one solution to this problem.
3 Tom turkeys + 1 shotgun + 2 shells of Buckshot = EL TURKO!
Now Ben Franklen wanted the turkey as our national bird because they are smart. Well, El Turko proves that not all turkey are anywhere near smart. After each time I got a turkey, he would dissapear for a week... then come back. It's not even that we are the only place to go, there are at lest 5 other farms with-in a mile, along with 3 different wetlands and forested areas. I don't get it.
Our elderly neighbor has expressed his great enjoyment of the turkey especially after the passing of his wife, this is the sole reason the turkey still lives.
Hopefully soon he will tire of El Turko so that I may have another great turkey fry! Might be a good idea for a meet.
Pics coming soon
