Wild Turkeys

thatdarngirl by thatdarngirlOG 2002 · Feb 10, 2005 · 297 views · ·

Because we don't have journals still..this is going to be posted here.

I was sitting on the toilet in the downstairs bathroom of my house when I looked outside and saw two wild turkeys! They didn't look like normal wild turkeys, they looked like they had been crossed with a pea-cock. I tapped on the glass window to get their attention. It took a few more taps but finally one came forward and was looking at me threw the window. I tapped again and it tapped back with it's beak! It then continued to tap-tap-tap the window. It started to creep me out so I wiped my butt quickly so I could vacate the bathroom. That's when the thing spread it's hawk-like wings and pressed them against the window. It then started to puuussshhh the window up using it's wings. I screamed like a little girl and closed the window as quick as I could and locked it.

I then saw the two birds moving towards the nearest window in the house!!! I ran out of the bathroom (I don't think I washed my hands, sorry) and to the nearest window. They were already starting to open it. So I screamed to my sister to lock the other windows in the room as I fought against the wild turkeys to close the one they were opening and lock it. Then I look over to our side door to find that one of them had gotten into the house! I grabbed it by it's tail, which ended up being like a scorpion tale and sliced my hand open, and threw it outside. I then closed and locked the door, and all the other doors/windows in our house.

The dream (hah, did you know this was a dream?) got consistantly weirder after that. For some reason my older sister was home, my grandma was there as well as my cousin Greg and Mark (who's in the army stationed in Germany). My mom wanted me to go out and pick up a pizza but I refused because of the wild turkeys and all. No one believed me so my dad, Greg, and Mark all went outside on the deck. One of the turkeys attacked them and they jumped on it until they could safely run inside. They believed me after that.

My mom called animal control but they told her that they were busy doing other stuff. Figures. She then said she'd go out and get a pizza but right then a helicoptor flew right past our window. I looked out to see what was going on and there was an accident infront of our neighbors house and we could see the dead bodies lying all over the road. I hate when that happens.

Then I'm at my back door and there's my grandma, insisting on opening the sliding door for some fresh air even though it's dark out and there are wild turkeys on the loose! I kept closing it and explaining to her the situation, but she wouldn't listen and kept opening the door. Typical grandma.

The dream progressed into the downright bizzare after this. I was out driving around in my convertible with the top down at night and people were running from the wild turkeys and anyone that was my friend kept jumping into my car until it was filled with people and I was driving down a grassy knoll completely covered in wild turkeys.

Oh and in the event a wild turkey charges you in real life. Just run. They have a 1 inch long claw on each leg. You could get hurt pretty bad.

I was visiting a friend in Doylestown, PA and had to stop my car for a flock of turkeys crossing the road. Any type of bird freaks me out. I hate birds.

how do you hunt them?

B

I sit next to a tree in the woods and call them in with a turkey caller. It's a slate and stick. Rubbing them together makes a Hen turkey sound. Then when they are within range I shoot them with a shotgun.

This elder in my hall (who hunts) married a sister from upstate NY (where hunting is really big). He went up early this past winter and said he got a wild turkey and his fiance (wife now), she and her mother cooked it for dinner.

so if you're hunting turkeys with a shotgun, is it still called buckshot? or do you call it like gobblershot?

B
brothermanOG 2004 ·

There are different types of shells depending on the game animal. Buckshot is a larger pellet than Birdshot. Obviously it takes less oomph to knock down a bird. Although w/ Turkeys you have to hit the head. The quills are very tough. Unless you are right on top of the bird, the shot will bounce off.

Did these turkeys use crop circles as landing coordinates, make odd clicking noises, and melt when touching water?

No, I actually don't like to eat turkey usually. And I haven't seen a wild turkey in years.

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 ·

I love your crazy mind. This morning on the radio there was a prank call where they called this guy in BK cos he had a turkey. They didn't want the neighborhood kids all getting scabies.
