Its a sad sight to have a ranch with out turkeys.

They are not the only thing that will suck up all your corn; hogs, javalinas, coons, quail, cows, goats, crows.........hell I've even seen yotes crunc'n corn....

Enjoy the diversity, there is nothing worse than sitting in the stand and looking at dirt.


Don't have many javelinas, corn is gone by the time the coins get there, no cows, goats or crows either.


For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

That's what it looks like out at our place. They eat all the corn and we can't possibly kill enough to put a dent in the population. It sucks, I hate them

Maybe you should change your name from TxTrophy to TxTurkey. They probably think you're their mother.

I have been working south of san antonio for last few months and drive around the back roads most mornings as I work nights, everyday I see tons of birds on the sides of roads, standing in the road, they dont run off just stand there, I rolled up on a big group standing in the road and dang near bumped them, at that I stopped open the door and they walked into the ditch, didnt fly didnt run, the birds down here think they own the place.

I would drown every turkey in the lake if it meant the quail comming back. Back in those days we didn't have a lot of turkey, would only see a few a year.

Between my and my neighbor I would say we have a resident turkey population of close to 300 birds

In Brady we have to have the feeder go off early then 20 minutes later to deal with the Turkeys they run the deer off


Donate to TX Youth hunting program.... better to donate then to waste it in taxes

Turkeys aren't the problem. I would say only relying on feeding the deer is the problem. I have spent time learning their travel patterns and set up accordingly. Saw 13 bucks opening weekend and haven't spent a penny on corn. By the way, I saw between 200-300 turkeys this last weekend also and they weren't eating corn either.
But good luck with your turkey problem. Maybe you could set your feeder to throw less corn but do it more often.
