Last year, mid October, I heard an odd sound outside and walked out the front porch to notice a Tom and a Hen wandering down the sidewalk. I recognized them as being escapees from the neighbor around the corner. I have plenty of experience with chickens but wasn't quite sure that the same approach would work with turkeys which are really quite large when they get in your face.
Ended up grabbing the (smaller) hen by the feet and turning her upside down (turns out they go docile like chickens do, thank goodness) and got a couple neighbors to help herd the tom back to his domicile. I love the "urban" nature of close in Portland.
