In the tiny MT prairie town we used to live in (population around 200), there were 4 'town deer' and about 60 turkeys. The deer generally stayed together and one even sported a big red dog collar one of the caring kids put on her to alert visiting hunters not to shoot a citizen of town.

Now, those turkeys.... yeah, those guys. LOL They divided themselves into 3 very territorial gangs. Walking anywhere in town often put one in a situation of crossing paths with the big birds. If one gang was going on an east west dirt road and another was crossing its path on a north south alley.... trouble

Dogs would bark from the safety of their fenced yards, but NEVER when they were being walked outside their yards. The dogs were pretty terrified of those turkey gangs.
