WHITE BEAR LAKE, Minn. (AP) - The residents of White Bear Lake's Park Avenue Apartments are having turkey troubles.
A group of wild turkeys have moved into the complex a while ago, but one male has gone bad now that it's mating season.
The apartment manager says the bird has attacked residents, chased children and damaged cars.
State wildlife supervisor Bryan Lueth concedes a hyper-dominate male can be ornery during mating season, but there are limited options for dealing with it.
Moving the bird could introduce diseases into the wild population. Killing it is tricky because using a gun or bow in the city is illegal.
Apartment manager Kelly Wright has received a permit to net the bird and kill it humanely, but she's a little afraid of it. She wants the DNR to step in.
Lueth says the DNR is understaffed. White Bear police have weapons, but say they don't have the expertise with animals.

this article is an advertisement for people to go to White Bear Lake, Minn and ransack the town. Citizens dont have guns, the 3 cops they have dont know how to use them. you could walk into town with a .22 and take whatever you want.
I cant believe that in the country, the only country in the world to ever use a nuclear weeapon in wartime, we have atown getting its ass kicked by thanksgiving dinner. Its just sad.
Get a shovel. Its a bird that can barely fly. Hit it.

The truly sad part is that the cops probably don't know how to shoot a turkey, but if they see you with a gun, BANG, you're dead.
