Hi...


Well, we use those armed UAVs in other areas, so why not in Boston...!!

LOL I saw that story on another site with the caption "Sensing weakness and a lack of weapons, turkeys go on the offensive..."

The picture of the dog cop chasing them with a tennis racket as a weapon is going to keep me laughing all day. Strange the peta people aren't there stopping the assault with a tennis racket.

I know you can't hunt in areas with such high population density, but I wonder if you can trap. Just figure out where they tend to go and set some snares.

You'll either cut down on your food bills or they'll figure out not to come near your house. It's a win-win.

They're just exercising some of their latent velociraptor DNA.

Oh my, attack of the killer turkeys! Everyone better run for cover. I love the velociraptor reference. I would think they would be able to trap them or something if they are that big of a problem.

Still laughing at the mental picture of an overweight dog catcher running around chasing wild turkeys with a tennis racket though.

I don't see what the big deal is. Wait for one to attack and as it's gets to you, reach down, grab the neck, make a quick snapping motion, pick it up into your arms, tell the onlookers "Poor fella just can't hold his drink.". Then take him home and prep him for dinner.

He'll be laughing out the other side of his face if one of those birds turns on him! Ever been flopped by a mad goose? Turkeys have claws and spurs!
