Fighting something off is not catching it. Interesting video, but not what Oerdin The Hunter is saying.
Do you Texans practice being stupid? I would literally grab it by the neck and then whip it around allowing it's body weight to break it's own neck. It's not difficult so I'm sure even a stupid Texan could manage it if he had to.
In other news smoked turkey legs make for great eating and they've become all the rage at Renaissance Faires and county fairs. Just give them a dry rub to season them then wet smoke them for 5-8 hours and you've got yourself something dandy. These drumsticks are huge and can weight several pounds all by themselves. You haven't lived until you've seen a grown man dressed up as a viking barbarian, chomping away on one of those turkey legs, with a bull's horn of mead in his other hand.
That's kinda old "news." MD's RennFest was serving them fifteen or twenty years ago. Something of an anachronism, I think--did they ship turkeys to England before 1600?

I'd say you're the stupid one. Get it on film, warrior.
After you're laying in bed, recovering, run a Google on "Turkey Hunting" or "Turkey Shotgun" and then try "Chicken Hunting" and Chicken Shotgun". No, don't run one on "Chicken Choker".

Yes, actually. Spain imported a number of the wild birds in the early 1500s, and they were domesticed there and elsewhere -- according to some sources, Turkey came to the forefront of domestication, and it was these birds that made it into England's farms by the late 1500s, hence the name.
From there, the domestic turkey arrived in Jamestown, Virginia in 1607.
No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.
I have killed two huge rogue (rogue here meaning solo, not part of a flock) wild gobblers (in additon to many lesser specimens) the two rouge each weighed over 20 lbs after being cleaned and dressed. Domestic or part descended from domestic trukerys can get much larger. I have sent gobblers taller than I. Thoses birds have some nasty spurs on them (in a real fight as ooposed to a display, they will use the mostly the spurs rather than the beak). An adult human should beat one, but might take some nasty wounds back. There is a log of muscle behind thoses legs, and they can slash fast.
Side note, wild turkeys are fastastic flyers, fast and high.
Anybody else here ever seen a wild turkey circus? Sometimes they before going up to evening roost, a flock will sing and dance in a circle around the roost tree, a great big noisy party.

Yes, I seem to recall reading (in 'Food In History' by Reay Tannahill) that turkeys were imported in North America from Europe:
Reay Tannahill was an accidental pioneer of food history. Her Food in History (1973) was one of the earliest general books on the subject, and, though she had few qualifications for writing it, is still one of the best. It is excellent precisely because, when writing it, she had no models to emulate, and had actually to determine what her subject really was. To this task she brought the pair of gifts that mattered – intelligence and common sense.
Reay Tannahill, food historian and historical novelist: born Glasgow 9 December 1929; married 1958 Michael Edwardes (died 1990; marriage dissolved 1983); died London 2 November 2007.
She mentions the food of the Aztecs which I read about in detail elsewhere. Human flesh tortillas and a kind of 'cheese' made from pressed lake larvae.
I'll take the turkey anyday.

That was the response of every turkey hunter I asked.
Remember, even with their heavy bodies, turkeys are strong flyers and can take off quickly.
The turkey would batter you silly with those strong wings, while ripping your belly open with its spur claws.
Geese, by comparison, have been known to break arms with their wings.
Maybe or maybe not. I'd be willing to give it a try. If I could get my hand around it's neck then I know I could crack it like a whip and the weight of it's body would likely break it's own neck. The spurs would be an issue so I'd have to wear thick pants and a jacket but I'm confident it can be done.
ALSO, I don't think you've ever latched onto a chicken.
