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

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!
The measure of a man is not only what he does when people are watching, but what he does when no one is.

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

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 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.

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

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 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.

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.

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.
It's hell eatin em live

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