I am a congenital optimist.
we all know Ben franklin wanted the turkey to be the national bird. here is a turkey.




this turkey is pretty big and kinda intimidating but I bet I could kick its rear end


this turkey is has beautiful plumage but no muscles to speak of. I could easily overpower it.

People paying American dollars to let other people know they didn't agree with someone's position on something is the lifeblood of these forums.
Try not to hate the Turks.

Toms, like the three you posted, have large spurs on the back of their feet. Jakes and hens do not have spurs



Every rut people are hospitalized after tangling with a turkey. I bet a turkey would make you it's hen

Wild turkeys are little fuckers that cause traffic jams and dig up gardens, supposedly for food, but in reality to just be tremendous assholes.

My mom raises chickens and turkeys, the chicken groups dart from tree cover to tree cover but the turkeys just walk around in the open inviting hawks to eat them

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

the wild turkeys in the smokey mountain national park hang around the roads when it rains. I saw 10 of them driving for 20 min or so. I think they're eating earthworms.

they look really pathetic when they're wet

if attacked by a wild turkey, don't try to punch it, run right up to it and wring it's neck :getin:

If you're new to a national park: walk up to the meanest looking turkey and hit it as hard as you can. It will let the other turkeys know you mean business and aren't a figurative "turkey".

A bunch of turkeys live in/near my yard and the river that runs across from it.
Mostly it's hens that look like the last picture in the OP and they just come around looking for lunch around the bird feeder that other birds knock over to them.

They are lazy, capricious dicks that gently caress like rabbits and get so flustered by the shadow of their own heads on the ground in front of them that they scatter like a fat woman who's just seen the mouse in an old Tom and Jerry cartoon.

They are funny, ugly old things; of no use other than to direct "gently caress 'em" in their direction. Franklin had it right.


edit: oh and also, to live in an area with a ton of these things is to commute to work in the morning where if a deer won't jump out of the woods, one of these 25lb bowling balls full of gravel, fat, and blood will be more than happy to toss itself through the windshield of your sedan during your drive towards the interstate into the city.
