Wild Turkey causes fatal accident!
Northern New York State:
A fellow driving his motorcycle lost control (and his life) after hitting a wild turkey this past Sunday. I don' t know if the bird was a gobbler or a hen or if the bird was already in the road or flying down early in the AM.
A couple of springs ago, I heard that some guy stopped in the middle of the road to watch a strutting tom (in the road) and that caused a 3 car pile pileup--no one hurt though!

That' s amazing and I' m sure not the first so very, very rare. Man, I know a bee feels like a 30.06 hitting you, a small bird would be bad enough but a turkey.... would have to like a cannon ball.

Yea, i Heard about that, so sad.
My Friend was goin around 70 one day in his Expedition when a hen flew out in front of him, needless to say, $2500 later and there was no Hen left...poor thing
