    I planted all my plots for the year a few weeks ago, i have corn coming up but its spotty because the dang turkeys keep peckin corn out. So i think my growth is going to be very scattered, does anyone have any tips on how to keep the turkeys off?

    You're about a month too late or else I would say kill them! Other than that I'm not sure what could keep turkeys from just flying down in your plot and eating away. Sorry I'm no help!

    yea, well i think i messed up earlier then a month ago. I shot 10 coyotes off my place this winter, if i wouldnt have done that the turkeys probably wouldnt be as bad as they are! im going to give it another month, see how its scooting along, if its spotty as all get out, ill till it under and go with a ton of clover.
