Is there any way to keep turkeys from eating all the corn I plan to put out next year to attract deer? The farm I hunt on has a huge flock and thriving population of turkeys.
Shoot all the trespassing turkeysDon't put out any corn.
Problem solved.
The only solution I have found that slows them down is to use Cobb corn. They still eat but not as bad.Is there any way to keep turkeys from eating all the corn I plan to put out next year to attract deer? The farm I hunt on has a huge flock and thriving population of turkeys.
They won’t get it all. I heard that they would not touch Walmart corn.Is there any way to keep turkeys from eating all the corn I plan to put out next year to attract deer? The farm I hunt on has a huge flock and thriving population of turkeys.
Where do you get sweet taters throughout the year and what do they cost compared to corn?Use sweet taters. ... never seen turkeys eating them
Quiet, too.Trotlines
Yes, I know that. But that doesn't help me between now and next fall.Many of the local farmers will let you pick them up in there fields after they harvest them. They leave the smaller ones.
I would love to have folks come shoot some; unfortunately, the landowner doesn't let anyone else hunt on his land except for myself. And I don't hunt turkeys either.If you want help thinning the flock I would be more than willing to help.
i believe your most positive approach to this is to change that don't to a do.I would love to have folks come shoot some; unfortunately, the landowner doesn't let anyone else hunt on his land except for myself. And I don't hunt turkeys either.

Obviously don’t push the land owners request but you could probably work some friends in the mix if you can prove their safety and ethical hunting abilities. Also if you know a turkey hunter ask if you could invite him to just call for you and maybe get his foot in the door too. Turkey hunting is a lot of fun. I have taken a couple of people on their first hunts and when you get a bird fired up and coming in it’s a great show and funny watching people shaking like crazy. I recall one friend couldn’t even pull the trigger because he was shaking and speechless after the bird got so close. Give the turkeys a try. What I normally see though too is birds in the fall aren’t usually in the same spot at much come springs.I would love to have folks come shoot some; unfortunately, the landowner doesn't let anyone else hunt on his land except for myself.

We - the landowner and I - have been through that before. Due to some jackwagon that another family member allowed to hunt, who then acted like he owned the place and started bringing disrespectful friends along and generally making an ass of himself, the whole family said "no more!" and stopped everyone but myself. That's because I'm very close to the family and have gone out of my way in the past to help them during some difficult situations. Plus, I help out on the farm and with the cows on occasion.Obviously don’t push the land owners request but you could probably work some friends in the mix if you can prove their safety and ethical hunting abilities.
