TOPIC: Wild turkey problems

Re:Wild turkey problems 11 years 6 months ago #22704

That sounds horrible, Rootman!

I'd be willing to get some in-the-field training, when it comes to reseed, if you'd like some help!

kyjabber,

It will probably be sometime in Oct. when I do replant after the tops starts to die down.

With your schedule I know how busy you are that time of year. We can discuss it later on.
okay?

rootman,

I understand your frustration after all of the hard work and probably a fairly large investment moneywise! However, I try to look at this in a good way. What goes in one end, comes out the other end and is usually covered in ferlizer! Wild Turkey populations have long been spreading Ginseng seeds across Forest lands of North America for thousands of years. They and some other bird species as well as Deer, are the reason that we see a lot of Ginseng growing on and along Wild Game Trails. Wild Turkey flocks, harems or coveys (whatever you want to call a bunch of hens, gobblers or hens and gobblers together) can and will cover up to 20 miles in a day looking for food but if food is plentiful in their' core area, they may only travel 5 to 10 miles in a day. Therefore, if fed Ginseng on a regular basis, a flock, harem or covey of Wild Turkey can plant 25 upwards of 100 square miles with Ginseng seeds in very little time at no extra cost to the supplier of the seed! Just a thought!

I had some Wild Turkey problems, so I switched to Jim Beam!

Sorry, couldn't help myself! Too bad on your seed getting eaten. I always rake the leaf matter back over my seed beds and then add sticks to hold the leaves in place and to create a bit of a barrier for things such as turkeys.

You might consider putting up some owl decoys to help deter the turkeys from coming into the area.

Good luck!

At least it wasn't Old Crow problems!!!! LOL!!!! Even then and I also like a snort of Jim Beam every now and then, I would probably have went with George Dickel or Old Grand Dad.
