    Unwanted food plot vultures, on my properties they are as dumb as rocks too! I good get my bird with a golf club! I had an 1/8 acre kill plot with over a dozen baths in it, set a cam up on the, 22 birds in one pic! I hate em! Almost half are the grey and white kind, someone please explain why I can’t shoot every last grey and white ones, no way they are good for the gene pool of wild turkeys!

    Sorry Joel!! Butt I hate these vultures also! The dnr used to trap about 30 -90 birds each winter on my property Butt with the cutbacks they are not allowed to trap them any more so I have been seeing 20-60 birds a day in my plots I can’t even imagine how bad it will be in 5 years

    I hear you Bob. My two favorite stands on our property are where they roost, you can’t imagine the noise they make in the evenings and mornings. The one bonus I have noticed a little bit is the deer seem a little more tolerant of a bit of noise because there are so many of those *^*&^ turkeys!

    No offense taken, as I feel the same way about the deer in spring-time when they continually cost me birds. I think the upside is that you guys are all doing such a good job with your properties, that it remains good habitat for deer and turkeys alike. Good problem to have, esp. if you like to turkey hunt.
