Jeffco Deputies Make Friends With Wild Turkey
JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. (CBS4)- Two deputies made friends with a wild turkey they encountered on... wait for it... North Turkey Creek Road.
Jefferson County Sheriff's Deputy Fischer called to the bird who was immediately smitten with the deputies.
The 25-pound bird followed the pair back to their patrol cars, despite the deputies trying to shoo the bird away with their batons.
