Our landowner will not let us kill Turkey's & I have about 40 that come in twice a day & clean me out. My dad has about 20 or so that does the same thing. I just do not know what to do - any ideas GS?

How to get Rid of Turkey's
Ever since I pig proofed my feeder haven't gotten a single turkey under it on cam
I guess they don't like hog panel -
Set your feeder to go off twice. Once for the turkeys, 20-30 minutes later for the deer. Or, hand corn another area. Next year, new lease.Comment

In my experience, you could just let me come turkey hunting, and instantly there wouldn't be a turkey within 5 miles of the place!Comment

We solved a major turkey problem a few years ago. We literally had hundreds of turkey. It was ridiculous. To get them to leave the feeders alone, we rigged up all our feeders with trays to dump corn onto for the deer rather than spinning it out on the ground. To keep the corn on the tray, we put PVC pipe covers around the spinner motors. The PVC catches the spun corn, and then the corn falls down and lands on the feeding tray below. The tray is high enough off the ground where a turkey can't reach it, but low enough for deer to get to. Works perfectly. We left one feeder off in a corner to spin on the ground. Most of the hoards of turkey left. We now just have normal amounts of turkey on that place.

I know every place is different but if you did it at the end of a lease trip you should be fine in a week or two.
I had pics the next day. My TC pics have actually gone way up since paneling.
I do hate changing anything once season starts though, so I can certainly understand being hesitantComment

Hog panel only deters turkeys every once in a while. I have turkeys inside my feeder pen quite often (16' x 32' hog paneled feeder pens).
Try using a large Owl decoy and see if that helps.Comment
