Another Mess

CHASED BY TURKEYS

We had our tools heading down to the woods line to cut trees and bushes to make the field straight, when we looked up the hill from the old roadbed heading to the white barn and saw a flock of seven male turkeys. Most were jakes(young males) but there was one with a nice long beard.

As the truck gentle rocked to and fro over the rocky road the turkeys were above us , Prince started taking pictures. The turkeys would be right above us and then move on about ten feet in front of us. We would slowly catch up with them. Again they would go ahead of us and we would catch up. One jake, kept trying to cross the road but since the others did not follow, he would cross back and run up the hill to where they were located. I know he kept saying "I thought y'all were gonna follow, Come on." Then he would do it again. This happen at least five times until near the gate, they all ran across the road down the hill to the pond.

Prince took the picture of the white barn from the area that we were working. Lots of times you see it in the distance but I thought you would like to see it closer.

The Kitty Justice is it is not every day that you can claim to be chased by turkeys.
