A couple years ago down in Columbia, a farmer called the TWRA to come in and capture a large group of jakes that would come in every morning and fly up on the fence railing and start flapping their wings to scare off the horses so they could come in and eat up all the sweet feed themselves. TWRA didn't believe them til they came in and saw it themselves. They caught that group and restocked them in other areas away from there.

The deer hunting regulations for years protected does, until the
deer populations grew.
I believe the turkey population has grown, so when we have
liberal hen limits? The breast meat is delicious, so I think
many hunters will be happy for a change in regs.

Moondawg-you better read up on the law. If shoot one of these birds going to or coming from someone feeding them, it considered baiting and that's all these birds do. Half the idiots around here feed them.
Not a problem for me...the turkeys aren't crapping in my yard. 
Wasn't sure how the baiting thing worked on turkeys, though.

Just looked out the back door. There must 200 turkeys in my yard.
SCN- We have to do something. Hey, If I'm careful shooting back towards the house can I put my blind over by your boat?
Had to move the boat. It was full turkey crap. Besides, you won't need a blind.

I believe they are getting out of hand. They are doing more damage to my food plots than hogs.
