The guys I were with didn’t believe we used to catch them by hand as kids by running them into a corner of a fence or lassoing them off their perch by spotlight with a bamboo pole and loop of wire.

A friend's Mrs got sick of the shit on top of gates and asked him if he'd remove them. Sure when I get time was the answer. Time passes, he comes in after dark one night there are 6 headless turkeys on the back step. Armed with a headlamp and hedge clippers she had done it herself.
