Our Local Mailman
Soviet:
It was just another normal day for our Mailman. Going door to door, placing the mail into the mailboxes.
He reaches my house, which makes my young puppy bark at him. This is what caught my attention to him. As I watched him walk along to the next house, he is startled by something behind a large shrub. Two very large turkeys walk out from behind the bush. The mailman turns and hurried up to the staircase; With the turkeys not far behind.
He places the mail into the mailbox, and the turkeys continue to advance nearer and nearer to him. He repeatedly rings the doorbell, and my neighbor hands him a broom. He's waving it around now, trying to scare away the turkeys, but it just angered them. They make their little gobble noises and continue on following him onto the next house. He begins to jog, and the turkeys start to sprint.
Now out of view, you can hear "YAW!" "YAW!" - The mailman attempting to scare off the monstrous couple. He bolts off to the next house which is then enclosed by a fence, the turkeys now right behind him, chasing him. He completely disregards the next house, and starts running down the street trying to out-run the turkeys. Eventually, the turkeys get tired, and fly off up into this large tree.
The mailman returns the yellow broom to my neighbor, and continues delivering the mail. Our poor mailman will never forget the day he was chased by turkeys down Westwood Road, and made a complete fool of himself. This is a completely true story.

Oh Absolutely, they're always around. I believe the Government is trying to enlarge the population of them.

It was even better seeing and hearing it with your own eyes and ears.
Just about a couple hours ago, they were chasing myself. They're more egotistical each visit.
TIP: Never feed a wild turkey.

Do like I did to a goose in Florida, one came up to me with attitude, I bitch-slapped it in the head. That not only showed my dominance over a dumb bird, but my at the time girlfriend saw me as a hero as she was scared of it. I will let you guess how she thanked me that night.
