    Put on your work gloves and shoo it out the passenger door. Those things are aggressive but when challenged by humans they run. Also they are attracted to shiny objects. He probably liked the chrome on the truck

    Easy enough. Show turkey dominance. It will take off soon enough.

    If you let turkey dominate you for being weak yourself then you will never get rid of it.

    In Valley Forge PA I was 6 and had a tom turkey bigger than me assert itself. All I did was cry. (So stupid.) then it really got to be a problem. So I got mad and decided that was quite enough and flapped and squeaked while walking into it forcing it off my sidewalk. Took a couple hits which was not welcome.

    Thus endeth my lesson in turkeys.

    Big birds have scrawny necks. Makes a good hand hold.

    How did the turkey get in there to start with, if it flew in, I may have stopped right in the middle of the road to get it out. I can't imagine a driver actually putting a turkey in the truck, but who knows these days. lol
