Dogs keep them out of the yard but they are in my food plots 8months out of the year. Last year I had a hen nest under some blow down jack pines right on the edge of the clover plots.  I don't hunt them at home so they aren't shy

Illegal. Pattern birds with boot leather!

     The problem I run into is running out of boot leather. Once I start patterning them then its game on. Supper sneak to about as close as I can then start running at them! They are real fast! I really need to learn to call them in?

Couple more laws should be added to the list ...No blowing them off the limb and no drive by shooting ...Just my  Wish goes on way to much !

Once again one hunter thinking his morals should be the law.

you cant do a turkey drive by its illegal to shoot from a vehicle or have a loaded firearm in a vehicle.

[Man Tracker]

Title 77 RCW (Fish and Wildlife Code) address loaded rifles/shotguns in MDV.
Title 9/9A RCW address the concealed/loaded carry of handguns. 
There are exceptions to everything, of course...

PWOA, I mean this as a positive. Good for you for being wrong. It shows that with the regs you can read one thing and just get it a little wrong, keep reading, then get it right. Keep working them over and eventually they will make sense ( kinda ) and you will be good to go, knocking down toms and chasing critters.
