What can I even do about it?

Here's a great idea to solve these issues for ya next year!
Do a Montana/Missouri hunt swap with me next year and tell your neighbor I will take care of that nuisance bird for him.
Congrats on your bird. I envy your situation.

Buy at least one of four region specific tags available, get in your truck, drive, hunt.

Or hunt spring bear, or.........

Sounds like a yard bird, but if you really need the bird killed, we've got two 399 tags left.

Sounds like a good morning!
Congrats on the bird.

And that tom is strutting on a real steep hill, about a 90 degree incline I'd say...

That's how I dry all my feet. I gave him the lead to head, he returns his favors by flipping me off on the wall

I had one that way too, was fun having someone looking at it and it started to hit them .

Whenever I take people into the trophy room they stop and take a second glance at my fans and then damn near fall over laughing and ask me how I do that to my birds  as for my local bird being a "yard bird" they transplanted 25 into the area two years ago. 10 of them showed up in my gulch. Then after the winter two years ago, we only had a jake, hen, and tom survive. Last summer the tom and the hen had 3 chicks survive. Now we have a little population containing 3 hens, a tom and two jakes. I have seen them in the neighbors yards, my yard and as far up as my cabins, I own 41 acres and they paroose through my meadows as they please. I don't consider them "yard birds" but it's always nice to see them around. I have been out spring bear huntin, but haven't had near the luck as I did last year. About 45 mins into opening mornin last spring I harvested a 5.5 year old cinnamon. Knew she was in the area from the many upon many piles of scat everywhere, they're are more bears frequenting the same area this spring, just haven't been able to catch them yet moving round.

Montana winters and springs can be tough on turkeys.
