Yeah, short ride for the boys downtown to their new home.  Jacksons also the source of some HUGE white tail deer though!

People trapped in their cars by turkeys...  I'm totally ashamed to live in this state anymore!

I am reminded of the story of the turkey that killed a guy.

In the 1990s, I lived in Ripley West Virginia, right next to the interstate.

I became aware of a massive accident on the 4 lane involving a crashed 18-wheeler with a trailer full or rolled aluminum.

It seems the trucker was be bopping down the interstate with the window down when a turkey flew across I-77, right through his window and hit him, causing him to lose control, crash and die.

What can I say, them turkeys is trouble.

A suicide run into an 18 wheeler, now THAT is a tactical turkey! Did he yell Allah Akbar! before before he hit? ;D

Folks, it just keeps on getting more dangerous out there. I officially retract all negative comments posted about this gun. In fact, I intend to go to Gander Mt. today and buy two. First it was sucicide bombing turkeys, now turkey vultures. Al Queada has found its new weapon. Be prepared!

State police say a turkey vulture injured a passenger when it crashed through a minivan's windshield Friday.
     
The bird crashed into a red Dodge Caravan at about 8:15 a.m. on Interstate 80 in Parsippany. It whopped 32-year-old Vanessa Hurtado in the face, causing minor cuts. Shards of glass got caught in her eye.

The turkey vulture landed in the middle seat behind the driver, 35-year-old Jorge Hurtado, who wasn't hurt. He told police that the bird was alive for a brief time following the crash; the responding officer pronounced the animal dead at the scene.

Eagle Towing (no pun intended) towed the vehicle away. Vanessa Hurtado first asked that the vulture be removed from the car, lest it marinate in the heat.

Turkey vultures, which are not related to turkeys, generally soar in circles on wind currents and are often seen on highway shoulders eating road kill.

This isn't the first time a turkey vulture has left its mark on a New Jerseyan. In June 2004, one hit a motorcyclist in the head. While attempting to get the live bird off of him, the man lost control and struck another car. He died of his injuries.

Just a quick history lesson but Ben Franklin wanted to use the turkey on US currency but they changed it to the bald eagle.  ;)
This is some gee whiz info I saw on the History Channel. Had to share.  ;D

Maybe it's because Bald Eagles taste like shite (I wouldn't know) and you wouldn't want to eat the National Symbol of Freedom, even once a year! ;D

Eh, I wouldn't have a problem with that.   And we wouldn't have a scavenger as a national symbol.
