Wild Turkeys on Campus
Wednesday, February 28, 2007 at 7:10PM
It's not every day I get an e-mail like this (received last Friday at my school e-mail):
As many of you have noted, there is a group of wild turkeys who have made our campus their home. Recently we have received reports that some of these turkeys are becoming quite aggressive. Campus Safety is researching our options for coping with this situation and will provide a more comprehensive response to the campus community shortly. In the meantime, please use caution encountering the wild turkeys - do not engage them, run after them or provoke them.One of my friends comments that he deals with problems like these with a 12 gauge shotgun.

As I recall, we had some wild turkeys at our school, Darryl. But most of them dropped out, didn't they?
Turkeys can do serious damage. They hate Sherm, who bears the scars of an attack. When they see you as a threat, you'll wish you had some of the bourbon named after them to swig.:^) Yeah, short of a shotgun, furry types might be useful. http://www.wildturkeyzone.com/wildturkey/species6.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.wildturkeyzone.com/wildturkey/species6.htm Wildlife, meet urbanlife.
No, Brian. The term "wild turkeys" does NOT refer to the students, however apt the description.
Isn't this why American's fight for the right to bear arms?
