Missoula Griz Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 This freakin turkey who wont leave my property. My 7 year old daughter is scared to go down to the creek by herself now because the turkey sometimes chases her. I dont think it will hurt her. The turkey is a female and about 3 1/2 feet tall. I have had them around in the past, but they usually head back up into the hills. Yea I could blow it away real quick, but that is not the message I want to send to my kids. Im sure not pluckin it and eating it. I dont want a dog yet. Nobody is home during the day so that is not an option, and the dog would scare away the deer and other animals which roam through. Any ideas, or just kill it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missoula Griz Posted May 31, 2007 Author Share Posted May 31, 2007 Kill it while the kids are gone then tell them the bird just left. That may be the ticket. I tried to scare it by shooting close to it the other night after about 10 beers, but I almost hit it so I put the gun away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edited to add: Yukon beat me to it... Edited May 31, 2007 by sundaynfl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
