MARINE ON ST. CORRECT, MN - Mary Lou Ayers had a lovely
8-lb. turkey in her house - and it wasn't even Thanksgiving.
Unfortunately, the gobbler wasn't invited. A wild turkey
smashed through an upper-level window of her house Tuesday
morning and wreaked havoc in the bedroom, hallway and computer
room. Ayers said the bird caused several thousand dollars in
damage before it was captured by a sheriff department deputy
and a state game warden. "It was a very tough bird," said
Conservation Officer Brad Schultz. Ayers said her insurance
policy won't cover turkey damage.
[If this had happened in the home of a hunter, do you think
his friends would have believed the story? "Flew right into
the window, did he?"]
