Illegal.This.
There is no cut and dry time frame that I know of where your bait sight has to be free of bait however...
I wouldn't run the risk, especially with kids/new hunters in tow. Take them out and let them experience a true turkey hunt and call one in for them. It will be a memory made that will last forever....trust me...I was that kid once.

I've had my success (albeit limited) putting time in the woods and finding out where they roost for the night. If you're hunting on private land large enough to hold a few different groups, I bet the landowner knows a few spots. Try to find out where they roost and set up a decoy early in the morning with a few subtle calls being sure not to spook the birds on the way to set up.
Turkeys coming out of their roost in the morning is like a few jets doing low deck flyovers. :-)
Enjoy!

I get a kick out of the fact that as hunters we can not bait turkeys but Property owners can go through the food on their property to keep the birds from going onto public land...
99% of land owners hate turkeys

Turkeys are worse than Pigeons when it comes to the mess they make around farmers buildings. Roosting in the rafters of shed dropping on the cars. Have one friend who uses a push broom to haze them so they can get to the cars. Not to count the amount of feed they eat from their chickens and other birds they own.

Illegal. Pattern birds with boot leather!
:yeah: 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? :chuckle:

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.:yeah: :tup: :brew:
