More wild turkey
This time in Cali. Behold. An adult human being bested by a turkey. Wrap your head a round an adult being chased into their car by a bird. Sad.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

Speechless. It’s a gorramed bird-kick it once and be done with it.

She got “owned” by that bird.

Just throw a bottle of Wild Turkey at it.

At the collefe I attended we had a pond, and it had geese who wintered over. They were quite protective of their nests in the spring. The first time I was approached by a gaggle of hissing geese, wings spread, heads down, spit flying, I backed off, too. I had never seen such a thing. Then my more experienced friend walked through the hissing, flapping, honking, impotently pecking bunch and I understood the threat level.

Neighbors need to quit tossing french fries to it.
Having had a wild turkey camp out in my yard for 4-5 months, I will note that a Tom that size can lay someone open very easily, just like cutting them with a knife. Very sharp claws & spurs, and they will use them. Ask any hunter who has tried to pick up a wounded tom. That mistake only happens once.

It’s Birdzilla!

Well, she’s chicken, obviously, he probably just wanted to mate with her. Something like that would camp in my yard about long enough for me to clear a space in the freezer.

HiddenHills nails it – an angry tom is not to be fucked with. Inch-long spurs on the backs of the legs are wicked sharp, and they will slash with them at anything that comes close.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3rusfZpsp8 is a great example…
That said, 1.5oz of #6 shot works wonders.

Mine would have been for dinner, but after the wife fed the nasty thing all winter, she wouldn’t eat it. We finally had it hauled off by TN wildlife officers.
It took nearly two years for the back porch to quit stinking.

It’s not that often that dinner finds me so I always keep my Judge handy. That thing is just begging to be fried, nevermind, I think it’s illegal to fry things in California.

From the article: Some viewers say they love the turkeys.
That’s your answer right there. What I’d be afraid of wouldn’t be the turkey; it would be the reaction from other humans if I were to remind that bird who’s on top of the food chain, even if all I did was boot it halfheartedly.
There was a thread here some time back about cops shooting a tied-up dog. All sorts of invective against the cops, all the dog lovers had their angry say… but nobody mentioned a possibility that was raised in the Youtube comments: that the dog was rabid.
That was pretty mild, considering it was this place; if you want to see batshit slavering homicidal insanity, go read the comment threads on any mainstream post or article involving someone hurting or killing an animal, accidental or not.
I like animals just fine, but far too many humans calling themselves “animal lovers” are more dangerous than any animal.
