Mt. Gunstock Turkey

My neighbor and I were doing our weekly climb (with his dog). We were about 3/4 of the way to the top walking through an area of high grass. His dog was a few feet in front of us and wandered a foot or so off the trail. All of a sudden a turkey reared up right in front of us screaming. Apparantly, it had been sleeping in the grass and startled by the dog. A real cardiac arrest moment. The turkey went running into the woods and we continued on our way. Wonder what my wife would have done if we brought the thing back to be cleaned and cooked.
