How Do I stop this...?

[Lady Grouse hunter]

  How do I stop the locals feeding from feeding the wild Turkey's? I see they hang out in the local Neighborhood for cat feed or what-ever-else as they R feeding them, Awful indeed.

These birds were released by WDFW in 2017 and see now the birds Relying on the locals for food and neighboorhood which IS very spread out in this area. 
OHH they say Pretty birds! Awh  what a joke as they have NO Idea where they came from,,, (Yuppies)
Doo I camera and turn them in? Give me your feed-backs, Please!!!

Just by chance, are you related to Cryder?

You can't convince people who feed wild animals that they shouldn't. They don't understand or believe that this never ends well for the critters, which either get culled or die in the winter from starvation. I have a dear friend who started feeding a racoon. I gently reminder her that feeding wild animals won't work out for her. Now, she's feeding 7 racoons. She'll soon have them in her attic, no doubt. This never works out in the animal's favor.

No, you'll be called that crazy neighbor lady.

Or worse you could get in trouble for impersonation.

[Ridgeratt]

Isn't that called a "Carein"

[Boss .300 winmag]

Just call the game department, it’s their job to handle this.

They used to relocate, not so much anymore. 

So many people feeding turkey..

When the town turkeys come to my place I can see over 100 birds, but then after they get the grasshoppers its back to town for the free cheese

[Ridgeratt]

This was yesterday.  They spent most of the morning chasing grasshoppers.  I promise that I have not planted any grasshoppers in the pasture.

[phildobaggins]

All this thread is doing is reminding me how much I love shooting turkeys in the spring

[Skyvalhunter]

Is feeding wild turkeys illegal?

As far as I know it is legal.

You cannot bait turkeys for hunting purposes but feeding them, not sure?  If people have feed out for their livestock or other animals and the turkeys show up and eat that feed….nothing illegal about that.  Kind of like a food plot or at field, no way to keep them out so what’s a guy to do. 

Sounds like a silly thing to be upset about. 

[KFhunter]

If you don't want turkey get a little terror dog

[pianoman9701]

Feeding wildlife is illegal in residential neighborhoods. Get names and/or addresses and drop a dime to DFW.

Or, you could try minding your own business.    You might find it is liberating.

Only constructive comment I’ve read since the OP.

If you give all the information to DFW… they will look into it.

Minding your own business isn't being liberal those that don't are.

Turkeys are destructive and quite aggressive. If they're in her neighborhood, it is her business. Would you feel the same if your next door neighbor was feeding bears? You don't feed wild animals off the back porch. It never leads to good results and almost always leads to the death of the animal(s).

  I was thinking that and just posted on another thread someone should set them up match made in heaven 😂

[idaho guy]

Wait!! I haven’t seen a post from cryder for quite a while could they be the same person? 😂

[Magnum_Willys]

No, Cryder would be sharing his Turkey brine recipe for the big day and rejoicing in how his neighbors fattened up his harvest…… he would not be callin any wdfw….

Why don’t you simply mind your own business  . A lot of other things in life that are great why even let it bother you , do you chase down every speeder , or complain when someone doesn’t use there blinker , why not just try and focus on you and your family and let it go life’s a lot easier when you just relax a bit , there freaking turkeys who gives a @@@@

[Caseknife]

Chase after them banging a couple cast iron frying pans like a crazy lady.  They actually learn quickly that your yard is not a favorable place to hang out.  After a while, all you have to do is open the door and they skedaddle.

I think lgh is upset because she wants to shoot one and they won’t leave the neighbors yard because of the smorgasbord provided daily for the turkeys,

Truth! You’re correct Cryder would have already eaten multiple turkeys at this point. I still think someone needs to arrange a date or something for cryder and lgh 😂😂

[Lady Grouse hunter]

Wow You ALL are soo comical 
It's for real as a place sold down the road, (very rural here, I see they think the birds are abandon!)
There Is REAL birds here in-the Desert!!!!

Have you attempted the tried and true corn pile/tannerite method?? Seems they usually vacate the area afterwards.

Joking people…

I live in the *censored* turkey capital of the world and believe me, nobody hates those friggin rat birds more than I do. I’ve got a blue heeler that knows any time one of those filthy creatures comes near my place, it’s clobberin time.

Report a Turkey tag in Wa. state, IS a Joke especially IF one did not use it. It says Exp. date 3-31-2022 HAH NO season after Dec, 31st 2021 Hmm do I take the 10.oo fine or report "Did not harvest one">>>

[NRA4LIFE]

I typically don't get into the habit of throwing $10 bills in the garbage.

[Lady Grouse hunter]

IF Turkeys are being pesty, Just report them or Lasso them!
