Now this is getting rediculous

I don't mind turkeys, I'm not a turkey hunter, but I appreciate them for what they are(big dumb birds).

I enjoy seeing them, but at corn prices being what they are, something's gotta give.

This was about half of the turkeys I saw this evening

I love those big dumb birds, especially baked

I can sympathize with your position, corn prices being what they are. Still....I think that is a beautiful sight.

I'm sure the turkey hubters out there are very jealous!

Corn Buzzards is what I call them and I don't care to see them.

Gotta manage that turkey herd.

Used to see flocks like that on the ranch often. Had to quit farming on sandy wheat field because they would harvest much of the crop before it ever gat started. Not like that today.

When you throw corn on the ground don't you think everything is gonna eat it. Not the turkeys fault corn is $10 and you poured it in their house. Nice flock too, I have em like that in Jack county in the fall.

i hate turkeys

looks like my lease.

I wish my lease looked like that. Sounds goofy, but I would rather harvest a deer, but enjoy spring turkey season hunting more than deer hunting Not much better calling in a mature tom. Especially if he comes from far out and is vocal entire trip in.

I would not want a ton, but I like having some around. If they are that thick then invite some buddies out before deer season ends that are not into spring turkey hunting and let em tag out

We had so many on a lease out by Bronte. A&M came out and rocket netted a bunch of them.

I have three nephews who would volunteer for turkey eradication.

Thanksgiving dinner

Never killed a turkey in the fall but love to call them in during the spring season.

Turkeys can be shot as easily with a rifle as one might shoot and kill a cow. However, try killing one with a shotgun or bow without the aid of bait and you might change your opinion.

It's hard to keep turkeys away from your feeder. Maybe you just need more deer?

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.

The birds can be the quickest to get to that feeder when it goes off in the morning. But at least they don't jump or climb up to the feeder, pull off your solar panel, destroy the timer and feeder unit, and empty the entire feeder like a large group of hogs and a few coons can do. Now those critters can really cost you some money.

Looks like you need to sell a few turkey hunts and get some payback for that feed you think your losing.

Hate Em!! Corn Stealing Ba****s, and they are Aggresive in our neck of the woods. I have seen them come in and run Deer off the Feeder

I have had them run deer off in the hill country.

Glad we dont have them, but they can be pretty tasty eating! Breast them, cut cross grain and chicken fry is very tasty!

I would comence shooting them with every tag I had then call a friend.

I would have shot them.....but they were all hens. Can't shoot hens in zavala county.

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

I bet you wish you hadn't killed all those yotes and cats.

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'll change mine if you change yours to hiney pirate

Wow, wish I had that many.

I would love to help you guys solve some of your over populated turkey problems. Would love to tag some of them.

We are covered at our place too. Dang nuisance. I keep a sling shot in the bow blind

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.

You make me laugh.

I'd love to see some Turkey on my place... they just aren't out there

Turkey Trotlines....

Singleshot I would 20 a bag if it ment quail coming back around lol. I am headed to black gap next week just to find a few birds. As far as turkey I grew up on a place with a live creek and turkey every were. I NEVER shot one I hate eating them so I didn't kill them.

Wow

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

So uh...how much you charging for a spring turkey archery hunt?

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.

Willing 2 buy lots of corn in the fall for a turkey hunt in the spring! Love turkey hunting. Any of u guys that hate them turkeys let me know if u want to trade.

Come spring time if you still have that problem I will gladly lend a helpful hand in controlling the population for you....

oh, please sir, please tell me how to hunt deer. the 75 or so I have killed must have been accidents.

We here at the THF need to know how to do it according to the gospel you shall put forth

hey I will come out and help you take a few of them out with the holidays coming and 6 kids to feed... lol

^^I knew this was coming. ^^

quit shooting all your yotes and cats, oh wait that doesnt help us either.
were only allowed bearded corn theifs, sigh....

Sorry to offend. Was not my intent. Just wanted to state that there were other ways to be successful with out having to worry about your corn being eaten by unwanted guests. I wish you the best of luck and hope you can find a way to solve the problem you have.

Box some of those turkeys up and send them my way. We haven't seen a turkey yet.

we haven't shot either in quite a few years.

problem is we have alot of bottom with big mesquites and my neighbor feeds a gazillion pounds of protein to his deer herd so they go get fat over there and then come roost over at our place.

we can only shoot bearded ones. its a drag
