Okay here's the scenario, some of you may have read earlier on a post that I had put up about an opening day confrontation with a landowner, well the turkey that I ended up shooting on game lands when I cut the crawl open it had seeds, clover and bugs and normal things that turkeys would be eating in a woods and pasture area.
Well fast forward a week later I had to work Saturday morning but was able to get in the woods later that afternoon so I headed back to my favorite spot the catch the turkeys coming back to roost and ended up calling one into shotgun range and put him down with a load of number 5's, so when I get him back to the house I cut open the crawl and find it full of corn this time, I was hunting a few hundred yards from where I shot the one last week and within a hundred yards of the property line.Now I'm wondering should I call the local wildlife officer and inform him? I'm wondering if the property owner has bait on his property somewhere and that's why he was so upset that I was in the area opening day or did he go out and bait up the area where I was hunting in hopes that I would get caught hunting near corn if he called the wildlife officer to be checking out the area on game lands because I didn't go back completely to the same area that I hunted opening day so I don't know if there might be corn right there in that vicinity where I was sitting? I've tagged out for the season and won't be back in that area till next year oh, so should I just leave well enough alone and let him continue baiting or contact the wildlife officer and let him do his job? What would you do?
