Turkey

Turkeys are pretty large animals to try to trap. Bow and arrow hunting is popular. If using a shotgun, try to aim for the head and neck. A good turkey caller is a must and are pretty cheap at most sporting goods stores. It's a good idea to scout around and know where the birds are, where they roost, where they feed and what travel routes they follow. On the farm I just bought I stumbled on an area that had 20-30 wild turkeys. I think the turkeys startled me more than I did them, but it did get me thinking. I will probably be setting out food for them so that they will live and roost in the area. I doubt I will hunt them until the time I absolutely need to, until then, lunch is on me. They can be quite entertaining to watch. While I'm at it, I may plant an acre or two of alfalfa to attract deer for the same reasons.
