I have been asked to catch four wild turkeys ( un harmed ). They are not very wild . They roost on pallets behind one residence and go two doors down were a person feeds them. The home owner says that you can approach them and they don't seem to care. I am pretty sure that I can arrive with a large landing net and scoop one bird. After that the remaining birds will be a little too wary . Sence they roost on pallets I was wondering if I could go after dark with a bright light and expect to scoop the rest. I have no experience catching pigeons or any other bird at night. I was hopeful that some one with experience could lend some advice.

#2 Scoop one bird put it in a repeating bird trap as a decoy bird add a little corn and water and good things should happen ??????

thanks Bob

I think a large cage and concentrated feed will have the best chance once they get used to it being there and will walk in.

Since it is a game bird make sure you have the required permits.

X2 on the permits. Looks like you are Canada...so you fall under different regs...check before you catch.

Approach caught wild turkeys very carefully. Their wings and spurs will hurt you majorly.
