Down here in the Low Country of South Carolina, we are being
invaded by nasty critters. They arent aliens from outer space. They
are wild hogs, coyotes and armadillos. Now they are headed your
way......toward Saluda. The wild hogs and coyotes at least, but not
the armadillos. The armadillos are headed north but they are staying
close to the shoreline. (If they make it to New York, I'm sure some
designer will say "Cute purse" and armadillo purses will be the next
fashion statement.)
South Carolina has declared a special hunting season to clear out
these pesky invaders.
Now they might have to add Turkeys to the list.
A woman in North Carolina was housebound for days by a 45 pound
turkey that was stalking her. She couldn't even get out to get to her
car without the bird chasing her. She finally called a friend of hers
but when he came over in his car, the turkey wouldn't let him get out.
Stalked him as well.
Critter management people suggested the woman should get a big
umbrella, open it and approach the turkey. I think the idea was for
her to diguise herself as a bigger turkey.
I'm not sure how the whole thing turned out but there have been
reports of a large turkey carrying an umbrella out by Lake Sheila. He
has painted it like the NBC logo....trying to make people think he's a
peacock.
We had a huge turkey here on Hilton Head Island.....he wandered
around on a green and shady medium on a busy highway. He was there
for days. Nobody dared approached him. But finally one night he
disappeared. Someone saw him getting into a van with a dozen
Mexicans. He's probably a burrito by now.
