I have too many stupid turkeys coming into my feeders. They wipe out the corn in a matter of minutes and when I throw rocks at them they will only move off a few yards. To get them to leave I have to make so much racket that every deer in the county knows where I am. Not that it even matters,as soon as one gang moves out another will move in. I can't just shoot them all,the last time I went out I had 4 different groups and I quit counting at 60 birds. Any ideas guys?

No such thing as too many turkeys. IMHO.

Turkeys are delicious. I have 4 tags, and I'm willing to help.

You don't have to throw corn on the ground. What do you think is gonna happen when you feed corn to wildlife, wildlife will show up. Just deer hunt a different way.

I might have to do it! I don't know what else to do. Maybe get the whole family tagged up and eat turkey for the next year.

string a hotwire up and see how they like that
sure wild turkeys can fly, but something tells me they will be flying away and not coming back if they get a good zap

The wife and I have 8 turkey tags, and with Thanksgiving right around the corner I could feed the fam. There's plenary of people on here that would be more than happy to fill a few tags to help you out

Like everyone else, I would be willing to sacrifice my time and tags for the chance to better your deer hunting.
Shot my first turkey today...Scared the crap out of everyone in the frozen food section, it was awesome!

One year we had the same problem so we set the feeders to go off earlier in the morning and later in the evening. They roost till good daylight and go to bed earlier than deer. Helped a little at least.

Pellet gun or a high power air gun can be your best friend if your feeder is not to far. Aim for the back and the thickest feathers. Don't ask me how I know this.

I've got the same problem going on but between the wife and kids we have plenty of tags, just trying to get a good buck out the way first!
It is our responsibility to be successful under the conditions as we find them.
