Driving to work this morning going about 65, a damn turkey decides to try and fly across the road. Luckily he only hit the glass. Will be on the 3rd windshield in less than 1 year now. I am more pissed that the damn bird rolled in the road, got up and strutted into the trees like nothing happened. I was hoping he would have been dead and i coulda thrown him in my smoker.

That sucks.

I've had a few friends over the years hit them. Those butterballs can cause some damage.

I had a rooster that attacked my wife twice. I cooked him for Thanksgiving. I should have rewarded him. I didn't know my now ex was cheating on me.

Sasquatch, thank you for your service and I would like to apologize for eating you. You were a lovely and tasty bird.

Sorry about your Jeep. I hope he hits the next cars tires.

Looks like it could have been worse. I have heard of them coming thru the windshield inside the vehicle.
If it makes you feel better I cracked my windshield 10 miles after I took delivery of mine brand new!!

ya im just glad he only hit the glass and not any of the sheet metal or grill.

im going to think that after he ran into the woods he died of internal bleeding and some racoons or skunks are eating him
