A family in a small Illinois town says that they are being tormented by a territorial turkey that has become such a troublesome presence in their lives that they have even given him a name: Karl. According to a local media report, the bellicose bird has been a problem in the village of Rockton since around March when he arrived alongside two other gallivanting gobblers. While his companions continued onward in their journey, it would seem that Karl took a liking to the small town and decided to stick around, much to the chagrin of residents who have since run afoul of the fowl that has begun targeting people and cars unlucky enough to cross its path.
