Saw this today in our neighborhood

[Russ McDonald]

Was going for a walk around the neighborhood tonight.  Saw this guy in a lot next to a house.  Walked up to about 20 yards to take the picture.  I snap the pic and he starts strutting towards me drumming a spitting at me.  He actually started chasing me trying to peck me.  Heck I was less that a foot away from him.  Guy that lived next to lot said the turkey was found by his neighbor with a arrow through it and fixed him up.  3 other people stopped and chased all of them.  Never knew a turkey could be so agressive.

Maybe he thought you were the guy who stuck the arrow in him and wanted revenge

I know but the people around there are treating it like a pet.  I thought about grabbing my bow but didn't want to raise discontent.  That thing had easily 1" spurs on him and about a 8"+ beard.

Sounds like he's been around people a while.  He's looking for love Russ.  He needs a hen...

Imagine what that could do to a child.  Take him out

Looks like dinner to me.

So what are you going to do.  Have pissed off neighbors because you terminated the neighborhood mascott, or just let it be for now? 

In a previous house I was in, I've had a scenereo smiliar to this before.  I chose the path of keeping the peace in the neighborhood.

I just let it be but I think since I am most likely moving to Enumclaw it was a dumb move.
