Take him down with a .22. A shotgun would do too much damage to the building. Yumm!

We had a family of turkeys that lived in our backyard in New Hampshire (and apparently a bear) but they never did anything quite like that. They did, however, enjoy standing on the runway even as we taxied up to them, trying to "encourage" them to move with our engine noise. Dumb birds.
How'd she get up there?

Turkeys can fly, if you can call it that. They have to be the most ungraceful landing birds I've ever seen. While deer hunting we see them coming off and going back on roost. It sounds like a crash landing every time.

I remember driving down a small side road in the Kettle Morane area in Wi, and seeing 3 or 4 turkeys in the road. This was on top of a hill, and all but one of the birds decided to run to the side of the road. One of them decided to fly down the hill. I just kept following an honking at the turkey, and damn near died laughing when it decided to make a right turn into the woods. I just saw this giant bird go ass over teakettle into the woods.
One of the funniest things I ever saw....

They can fly -- they just don't do it often. I came outside one morning about a month ago with a cup of coffee. In the process I spooked 5 hen turkeys by one our bird feeders. With great gobbling, the five hens flew up into a nearby tree. They must have given me a (gobbledy-gook?) tonguelashing for about 5 minutes before they shut up.
