good luck keeping the wild pigs out of it....

Baiting Prohibited
It is unlawful to make use of bait to aid in the taking of a wild turkey.

This does not apply to standing farm crops (normal agricultural practices) or other natural growing grains, fruits or vegetables.

EDIT: Also only (1) gobbler in the spring season. Michigan has a fall and spring season. You can take one of either sex in the fall season. That kinda sucks if you take one early.

Turkeys love chufas. If you plant chufas, turkeys will love you. And they will hang out around chufas. Another thing they like is cracked corn, but so do deer. If you are concerned about the deer eating your food, kill them.

Yeah no baiting here I know. I just want to attract a flock to hang out on my property. I could hunt them far away from the feeding station no problem.

I was just now reading about chufa: NWTF | Land Management Tips

You don't have them much around you. There are shit tons in the black belt and south of there. In high school I shot a 400 pound sow in Bay Minette.

We have a pig hunting farm up here. Russian boars. Several years ago a bunch of them escaped. I think they've all been eaten by now, as there were no rules about hunting them...

You are one ugly dude.

Your wife could use a waxing, too.

'74 UA FJ · 02-22-08, 12:45 PM

We're starting to get some bear around here now. I wouldn't shoot one though, unless it was trying to kill me.

If I was that ugly, or my wife was that hairy, I would shoot myself...

Me neither, bears are too

to kill for sport. I would never begrudge anyone that hunts bears, I just don't want to kill one myself.

When you see one, you already have a population.

If my wife were that hairy, I would just shoot her.

I want to LIVE, man.

We are becoming overrun with bears.......They're becoming a nuisance, even in areas with a very low human population.

One of my neighbors had to call "fish and game" on one , this summer.

It had no fear of humans , and was "terrorizing" our community.

They told him , that they no longer relocate bears . period. And if he was comfortable , to just go ahead and kill it [with written permit] Because , "they couldn't keep up with the nuisance bear calls".

I agree , that they are cool as shit , and I really enjoy just seeing them. I also consider bear meat to be a delicacy, and with the numbers that we have , I don't mind

That "bb gun" of mine will take out anything a standard .22 LR will, sunshine. The 9mm version has the same velocity as a 9mm pistol.

Yup.

I have had it for about 6 years and it has put many a bunny in hasenpfeffer heaven. Not to mention crows, feral cats and a particularly pesky raccoon.

Alas, no turkey taken with it as I have never tried. I think I am going to try it behind my office this year, just for shits and giggles.
