....Do you hear a radio call to the Larimer County Humane Society to respond to a motor vehicle accident involving a wild turkey.
The dispatcher said "The driver said it was a BIG one, and all he could see were feathers flying everywhere".
No word on the condition of the turkey.....
LOL - I suspect if there were feathers flying everywhere that the turkey is roadkill.
ReplyDeleteYeah, probably in a drainage ditch here.
DeleteThat would be a bad bo bo
ReplyDeleteI wonder what it did to the car....
DeleteI've seen a lot of turkeys on the road, but they weren't the feathered kind.
ReplyDeleteROFLMAO!
DeleteDid somebody frickasee the bird? The humane society responded to road kill?
ReplyDeleteWe have a lot of wild turkeys in Northern Arizona and a turkey season. When I was 7 1/2, I killed my first dear in AZ during turkey season but that's another story). In any event, hitting a big tom would put a dent in a rig without an aftermarket steel bumper - which is why many of us have those on our trucks.
They also responded to a call about a wild turkey with an arrow in it. Bad shot, maybe?
DeleteI don't think I've ever seen a wild turkey, except for the bottled kind. WSF keeps recommending I get a "brush buster" bumper for my Colorado, just in case.
It could always be worse. Many years ago when I carried a badge in a small Missouri town, we had a near-fatality when a cow fell out of a tree onto a passing car. Turns out the cow had wandered too close to the edge of a bluff, and got stuck in a tree on the way down. Temporarily.
ReplyDeleteOK, "Cow In A Tree" beats "Turkey In The Road" any day!
DeleteHope all is well with you, Rev!
Deep fried in engine oil is NOT the recommended way to cook one...
ReplyDeleteHAH! TOO funny!
