Massachusetts mail carrier Wayne White encountered an unusual job hazard recently, when he was chased through a Nantucket neighborhood by wild turkeys, and the pursuit was caught on camera. White’s struggle with the flock of foul fowl was recorded by the home security camera of resident John Araujo. White said he encounters dogs and deer all the time, but this was his first run-in with turkeys. He said all the could think of was to make a run for it. “Every time I moved the truck, the turkeys followed,” he explained. White said his encounter with the birds has already given him a reputation. "All day long it's been 'gobble gobble' texts and turkey texts. I can't imagine what Thanksgiving is going to be like this year," he said.
