Question ? I'm no real hard core turkey hunter but with the number of turkey I've see and heard about do we need more turkey allocations or what ever. Seem they are kinda getting out of hand. For sure at BW house.

We have a serious problem in this area. The real problem being, these birds are living in subdivisons and there is no safe way to shoot a cannon net. They just aren't very accurate.
The only solution, as I can see it, is to educate people to quit feeding them. Let me tell you how bad it is. One of my neighbors built a pen for his grankids to play in to keep the turkeys from attacking them looking for food. A few days ago, using a slingshot, he was shooting cherry bombs into the flock to scare them off.
The day will come when vigilante justice will take over.
See, the thing is, because these birds are being fed, even though it is legal, you can't hunt them because it would hunting over bait. If we could shoot them, they would stop coming in to the food. It is the only reason I can think of for legalizing bait. And I am opposed to baiting. I would like to see it illegal to feed wildlife.

X2 I'll bet there are 2000 from Bairds Lane to my house. I know there has to be 350 in the three flocks on Bairds.
