Thanks yelp for the info, and to clarify the game dept never said I could bait turkeys as long as I did not hunt over the bait the only thing I asked them is if I could run a feeder all year long. I  try to follow the hunting/fishing laws and I would not knowingly break the law. Seems odd that you can plant a non harvested food source and still hunt turkeys over that site seems like the same thing to me. If the game dept. says I am not following the law the feeder will still be in use I will just hunt on another property.

How many turkeys are you feeding?  If you are going to continue feeding them anyways.... what then is the purpose?  They are not starving. 
Personally it sounds like you want to attract wild turkeys to your property to just feed them?, I suggest talking with some of the conservation districts about habitat plantings it would cost you less in the long run.

Yelp, like in earlier post I love to get pics on my trail camera of different animals not just turkeys. I have pics of deer, elk, moose, bear, bobcat, coyote, and numerous small game. The feeder only feeds 1lb of food every 24hrs so its not like im feeding a ton of wildlife. The highest number of turkeys that have been to my feeder at one time have only been 9. If no current laws are being broken to each their own. Thanks again for all the legal info you have provided.

For all who care I just got off the phone with the game dept. and hunting on property where a corn feeder is in use is LEGAL as long as I do not hunt over the bait or set up in the main pathway the turkeys are using to and from the feeder. If it is a matter of ethics for some of you I also fish with bait guess I am double damned. ;)Good luck to all you guys.

I didnt get the guys name the first lady that answered the phone didnt know the answer so she transfered me the this other gentlemen. Sounds like a big grey area and at the discretion of the warden. To be on the safe side I am staying far away from the feeder. Im not trying to say told you so I am just trying to stay legal and have a good time bowhunting for some turkeys.
