Retaining Turkeys?

I've been seeing 6 tom turkeys in the woods behind my house, since the middle of deer archery season. I have no idea where they came from or what's attracting them to this location.

However, I'd like to retain/hold them until the spring turkey season opens. :smiley_chinrub:

Any suggestions for food attractants?
* Corn?
* Bird Seed?
* A nice little chicken coop? :smiley_blink:

Thank you, Bowhunter57

Just remember if you do bait 'em, you've got to take the bait away 10 days before season.

Other than that, I suppose my best guesses would be to make 'em comfortable (shoot coyotes) and kill them on opening day!
