Young hawks like to sometimes try there hunting skills on Turkey. It's fun to watch, the hawk always is the looser. I don't know if it's for sure true, but I have heard a Turkey can break the ribs of a coyote attacking them. I had a big old Tom attack me one time when I was on the riding mower. Guess I got to close to his girl friend. He drove me away for sure.
I'm not sure I believe the rib cracking story but you need to be commended for backing off and not attacking the old tom doing his natural job.. We need more folks who understand the natural actions of wildlife..
