WFDW does not care...

[Lady Grouse hunter]

Hi ALL!
I just chatted with the game department today. My beaf was about the locals feeding "Wild Turkey's"
They say It's legal to do soo.. hum 
I ask when the next council meeting is? No answer..
Then I had suggested to just go knock on these people's doors, educate them then try to buy a pair of Turkey's from them? hum i really see they think they are someones escaped farm birds..
Soo now I'm Farmer Jane wanting a few birds. Let me see IF these Dumn asses fall for it...
I will pay them then turn them in. as Anounomusly
I just want to get My Thanksgiving bird, first time in GMU 272 to get a Fall Turkey!

Perhaps they don’t understand what your issue is?

[STIKNSTRINGBOW]

Plenty of birds just past the boundaries of private property.
.
Or just go lose a few games of pool/darts at local watering hole.
.
Someone will give you access to an easy bird.
.
Or...
Go hunt one.

pretty hard to follow, I guess I wasn't aware that the wdfw had a council??

[KFhunter]

I threw out some scratch grains for my chickens,

turkey ran up and gobbled it all up,

am I illegally feeding turkey?

[Dan-o]

You could always choose to mind your own business and let them do what they're doing.   It's not like they are breaking the law.

Or you could try to be a good neighbor and actually get to know them.

Trying to entrap them makes zero sense.

Don't be a turkey Karen.

Looks to me like someone has been hitting the "Wild Turkey" pretty hard...............

I always get a giggle out of LGH's posts...they are always like a box of chocolates

You need to put out more chum!!!! I have about 200
Pasture maggots every day just like you have.
Yesterday I was puttering around and had the shop door open.  When I walked around front there was half a dozen of the looking around just inside the door. They don't even run.  So I release the blonde certified turkie removal device. Then they go everywhere but straight. 😁😁😁
She puts them over the fence and comes back so proud of her self.

We need pictures or videos of this “blonde certified turkie removal device” in action to confirm no “illegal” methods were used in This turkey eradication post!

The only blond in my house is my wife (I think?) but she changes that with every mood swing.
Beside I think I know which turkey she would want to remove!
 

[KFhunter]

wife got a video of my two white yappin streaks of turkey removal devices 

but sometimes they get the chickens mixed up with the pasture maggots...

2 of the turkeys i harvested in WA this season were stuffed with cracked corn..

As far as the locals way of thinking goes in some cases, would you rather have turkey finished with ticks, hoppers, and stink bugs ?, or corn.....

GMAC? Or does she mean the Commission? No one knows.

[idaho guy]

I think someone should set cryder up with lady grouse hunter 😂 they seem to think a like and their posts leave me completely confused but thoroughly entertained.

[Lady Grouse hunter]

Sorry I'm taken, have my guy here! BUT do NOT need any dude to control me!

Soo Your all takin' TURKEY here, THIS IS NOT A JOKE,
It's a real issue in my area near south Banks Lake, (yes there IS desert Merriam's here!) like the other poster said "Shot a bird FULL of Cracked corn!"
Hmm that means they chowed tuff! Feeding the chickens and such! Like a Coyote or a Bear it the SAME THING. Cat food on the porch and such....
Farm scatter is different, it's on-the-ground from harvesting of a Combine...
We had a sign posted in our neighborhood saying with an RCW code "put one's Garbage cans locked up til' the day of collection". Take down bird feeders, cat, dog foods from outside...
We are unknowingly attracting, feeding the wildlife....
Look this up, do one's homework, look in your yard, acrage....

[Russ McDonald]

Do you have plants and flowers in your yard?  Take them out to because they will also feed on those.  As the saying goes you can't fix stupid.  Turkeys will habg around a food aource once they knows it there they will call in their friends.  Does WDFW care that much?  In my opinion not so much.  I get the numbers of tags every year.  Around 15K plus tags sold  At $15 plus a tag that is a decent amount of change from turkey hunting.  Did you all know that it was stated that when the agency started changing for tags that a 1/3 of that money was supposed to go back into turkey habitat.  We have been asking the last couple years where is thay money?  We haven't gotten any replies until just thia year.  Unfortunately I can't go into the particulars until it is finalized but hope that what is in the pipe will help.  As far as people feeding birds the game department picks their battles.  They feel that turkeys aren't a huge problem.

Cage trap with corn leading into it and past the triggering mechanism = turkey on the table if you really want one of those tough as shoe leather birds. IMO only thing are good for is their feathers as predator decoys

Them turkeys aren't that bad to eat.
I take the breast ,strip it out,beat the Heck out of it with a meat hammer ,till it's almost falling apart.
Then I make a almost thin gravy out of water and flour.
Then a dry mix of flour and seasoning.
The strips go into gravy mix ,then container with lid for dry mix flour,shake it like your life depends on it.
Drop those strips into hot oil in the frying pan.
So gooood!!!!.

Agreed some of the best tasting is wild turkey.  I strip them, marinate over night and make wild turkey jalepeno poppers.  All in the way you cook it like any other wild game.

I think you could make anything taste good with enough catsup. Even Mre's are palatable with tabasco.
