I had a flock of about 10 turkeys in the front yard about 7:30AM. Looked like 4 hens and 6 chicks. Man have they grown in the last 2 weeks as they are about the size of pheasants now maybe alittle bigger.
Wish we had a Fall Hunt in SW Ohio. But the local Warden said no fall hunt unless there is 200 Spring Hunt kills for 3 years in a row. And we only have about 85 Spring kills per year.
We are becoming overrun with turkeys down here but that is a good thing. I haven't talked to any grain farmers to see if there is really any turkey damage. I only pasture my farm so I guess I don't have any damage from turkeys.
Now the deer is another story on fence damage and the local Warden won't issue Deer Permits for fence damage. I asked him to come over and help with the fence damage repair but he seems to be too busy. The family is getting too busy to deer hunt in the fall with sports and the such now it's girl chasing added now.
I guess it's upto grandpa to give the deer hell with his new bow. I will have to step upto the plate more as I don't allow non-family to hunt here.
