Turkeys will clean out a nest of fresh hatched quail or pheasants. If they can make it three days, they might have a chance.

If you want to complain about rifles for fall gobblers. I will state this FACT! anyone who consistently kills gobblers in the fall with a shotgun is baiting!

I know of a flock of turkeys that were sitting on bales of alfalfa and shredding them in winter. A .22 revolver harvested a number of them.

Bingo, add grouse to the list too, turkeys need to be managed hard if you want other game birds around

Some of us don't have grouse or pheasants and quail are getting really scarce so turkeys are what we chase. Obviously, I mut not be a good turkey hunter because i have struggled on several springs. Maybe one of you experts would like to come teach me how it's done.

Most experts learn on their own.

Those if you that think you have too many turkeys should go on the Old Gobbler forum and tell those guys. They're all moaning about how bad the population is in their area.
