Stuffed coyotes have their charm, but nothing scares off a wild turkey quite as enthusiastically as a loud territorial dog. Leashing your dog to a tree outside or just turning it loose to run the perimeter of your property in the morning is an excellent way to never see another turkey near your land.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"is-wild-turkey-dangerous\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Wild_Turkey_dangerous\"><\/span>Is Wild Turkey dangerous?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Rarely do they cause serious damage, although they often will chase and harass children.
