Why would that make any difference? Still needs to be stopped.
No kidding, pellet gun and turkeys today, .22/.243 tomorrow and deer and elk.
I have always found it amazing that any hunting parents let their kids shoot songbirds with bb/pellet guns (not counting house sparows and starlings) since this, to me, shows a disrespect to wildlife that may continue on to larger things.

Are you sure it is not some kids doing this?
I can assure you that this would not be his kids, they get ample chance to harvest turkeys.
My point is that if they wanted to shoot a turkey all they would have to do is tell dad that they want to go hunting for them.

I can not agree more lokidog... my dad used to plant more than we actually needed in the garden.. knowing full well, birds (robins, blackbirds, etc...) would get their share...

Heck, I kill every gopher that gets into my garden, but they sure aren't a game species that occasionally wanders into my yard.
I don't care if it is a neighbor who is tired of them, a silent poacher, or a rotten kid. Shooting turkeys with a pellet gun is just plain wrong.

What's the matter with kids shooting birds? My dad used to pay me to keep them out of the fruit trees and garden. I used to pile up the starlings and crows. I am sure he would have had me chase the turkeys off as well with the pellet gun. But that was also 30 years ago. When people didn't want to hug every animal they saw.

I could be mistaken, but I don't think that ORCA SIX is saying "his" kids, but "some" kids :dunno:

Especially since turkeys are not a native species. They were only brought here so people would have something else to hunt.

OP, you might suggest to your neighbor, or get her a Christmas present, that she use one of those motion detector sprinklers and set it up where the turkeys come by. Won't do much good in the winter, but it might help.
Like the ones in the Seahawks game! It scared the refs away :chuckle:

No need to be popping the birds ... agree that harassing any animal/bird is not the right way to go ....
