Joe Mama, I needed that one! Wild turkey
vs. domesticated turkey tastes more like
game fowl where domesticated turkey leans
more toward chicken. The wild turkeys do
fly but only for short distances. We
see them often where I live.
If you like wild duck, quail, or pheasant
you would very much enjoy wild turkey.
If you like chicken domesticated turkey
would probably be more to your liking.
That’s not funny. I’m a retired Navy Aircraft Weapons Technician. Collisions with wild fowl has been a real serious issue for years. I have seen the damage between a wild fowl and an aircarft can cause. I hope the driver is Okay.
June 2008 we hit a wild turkey on 93 in Windham, N. H. heading home to Mass. We were in a 40 ft Diesel Pusher Motorhome. We smashed both windshilds, bent the frame in the Middle (thank god we did not have a panarama window), imbedded the wipper in the glass, scratch the paint top and bottom. $5,802.00 was my repair bill. Both windows were bowed in. That frame stopped it from coming in. We had glass all the way back to the bedroom. The only thing nice about it was it looked like I had a very large angel on my windshield. Picture’s available. An angel was looking out for us that day as we did not cause an accident and had to go a mile before we could pull over as we were towing a car. Of course no one stopped and the state trooper asked if I knew what happened to the turkey.WHO CARES
You people who make a joke about wild turkeys hitting windshields make me sick.
There is an old saying like “until you walk in my shoes”……….I can say from my experience “thank god I survived.”
C’mon, Linda…If you can’t laugh at a cop pulling someone over for FLIPPING THE BIRD, what can you laugh at? I realize that your hitting of a turkey was probably pretty traumatic, but it sounds like you survived. It’s like being offended by “Why did the chicken cross the road?” because you knew someone that choked on a chicken bone once.
In all fairness, I do hope you have a great day and are able to laugh a little. It’ll make you feel so much better.
I am sorry that you are offended. Some of
us deal with the negative things in life
by trying to find things to laugh at. Of
course we are concerned that everyone in
this accident is okay. The jokes are not
about the people in the article, but about
the absurdity of the situation. It is
unusual to read about such a thing. Laughing at a thing makes
that thing less threatening or frightening. I am sorry if you can’t understand that.

Not sure if anyone picked up on the WKRP reference there Mr. Carlson, I did and that was funny!!

Yes, Linda, people who laugh at anything in this world are terrible, rotten people and should burn in everlasting fire for all eternity.
Lighten up a little. No harm, no fowl.
