turkeys are just getting started here, so this is a cool sight to see



once the season opens, I am going to launch an all out blitzkrieg these turkey eating vermin

Kill them all!

Chevy, you're going to have to join the trapping/snaring picture brigade for this winter. Always one of the best topics/threads of all year.

I plan to

I killed a small pile of them last season with archery gear, snares, and foot traps.

Can't be done! I've tried ....35 + in two years just on our place, and I'm STILL getting a tons of pics of them. I have video's of them running bucks! Take out one group, and another moves in to fill the void. I'd work on 'em now.....but I hate to throw away a possible $50.00 bill!

The trappin thread should be a good one this year.

Exactly right.

Federal research has shown you can eliminate something like 70% of coyotes per year and still not make, what they determined to be, a significant reduction in their population.

This is with year round trapping, 1080 poison, arial gunning and the like. Tools we don't have in the midwest.

I think many would be surprised to know the actual coyote densities in the midwest. Higher than in the west for sure.

On a ~2000 acre farm I trap on, there are multiple family groups,overlapping ranges, and always dispersal in the fall/winter when the pups find new areas.....

I am in the same boat, I would love to start killing them now, but with the current market I am waiting until the fur primes up. =)
