[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5422978, member: 2805"] Got a friend who lives a couple miles outside the city limits with about 150ac of rough timber on it. He decided to plant part of one of the fields on his place and sowed 2.5ac of wheat, radishes, clover, and turnips. Came up great, but now the neighbors pet turkeys have found the plot and are destroying it. 25 hens and poults and 10 toms. The neighbor hand feeds them birdseed every day, so they don't wander far. This plot is about 300y from the neigh or house and about that far from their traditional roost site. They have very little fear of humans, so you have to get within 30 yards of them to chase them off. He asked me what to do, and I don't really know as I've never had that much of a problem with turkeys decimating my plots. I suggested he put up a couple owl decoys on the plots with movement (told him to tie a couple turkey wing feathers to the decoy), but I have no idea if this would actually work. Any other suggestions? [/QUOTE]
