I wasn't sure where to put this one, so I put it here. There's a poll on the left margin of the link about what to do with the thing. I didn't see a "turkey-choked shotgun with BBs" option, so I chose the 3-wood option . . .

A neighbor has stalked Edna Geisler for two months. He lurks in her front yard, screeching at her constantly, even jumping out occasionally and attacking her when she dares wander outside alone.
"I'm afraid to go out of my house," said Geisler, 69. "I have to go to the post office at 6 o'clock in the morning to avoid him."
When she returned home with groceries recently, Geisler couldn't get in her front door.
"I had to go next door to the neighbors and have him use a push broom to keep him away while I brought the groceries in," Geisler said.
Her stalker is a large, mature, tom turkey who believes Geisler's front yard in Commerce Township is his. Geisler said she calls him Godzilla.
One word--"shotgun." Yeah, it's kinda close to other houses, but it probably could be pulled off.

Really? One salmon size fish net with a long handle and the car trunk. Or my way the razor sharp machete!

What would you do about the Commerce Township attack turkey?
- Chase him out of the yard with an open umbrella.
- Try talking it out. Be firm, but understanding.
- Call animal control and have it removed.
- Attack back, a 3-wood would do the job.
- Nothing. Turkeys have rights, too.
Seriously? :rotf:

I was attacked by a Canada goose while cruising past a gaggle of 'em while I was riding my Honda 919. Sumbitch actually flew after me and was determined to knock me off the bike.
It was springtime in Ohio. Love was in the air. :rotf:

When I was young we raised geese, and had a big white gander that would not stay penned up. We always new when it got loose, because it would immediately chase after my mom when she walked out the door. I don't know which was louder her or the honking.

Only liberals could be threatened by their own dinner.

I'd have thrown my damn cat at it.
As much as she makes me bleed, the turkey would have wound up in her food dish.
And I could get a good nights sleep.

This is right up the road from where i work. The woman is 69 years old so i kind of understand her not wanting to tussle with the tom, but...There are houses around her! None of the guys who live in those houses can go over there and either shoot him or for chrissake take his head off with a baseball bat? :lmao: I think i may stop by this ladies house on my way to my second job one day and take care of ole "Godzilla" :-)
