Oregon looks to hunters to help with wild turkeys acting…wild

Retiree Chenaya Strutton recently found herself driving through a very nice housing development in Reedsport, on the central Oregon coast. On the side of the road was a flock of wild turkeys, so she stopped to take a picture.

“One male came over and saw his reflection in my hubcap and he started attacking his reflection,” Strutton said. “You know, flying up, hitting it with his spurs and flapping and everything.”

Turkey activity begets turkey activity, so by the time she tried to leave there were 30 birds clustered around the car.

“So for quite a while we sat in this huge mass of turkeys and watched them attack our hub caps,” she said.
