Can you get damage permits for those turkeys?

Gabe22br where abouts are you.I have the same problem with the deer!!I grow 2 big gardens and a smaller one.I can and put back a lot of food every year.I do understand what the critters can do to you when you depend on the food to get through the winter.

 

[Gabe22BR]

NO. I wish !!!




Hunter243, call the local wildlife office, they will issue/ help most of the time. I'm in NW TN.

I did ask about rabbits, kill 1 one night, another takes it place the next night.

Supposed to be patient until after Memorial Day for the 'hogs...... Yeah, it's hard....... And the softball-sized pups are really tempting targets......

 

[hunter243sgk]

When will the pups go out on their own?I think it is a pair I was seeing last year.If I am right I will wait till they do and then I will have several to shoot.

I think it is about 2 months after they hatch, that they dig their new digs.

Thanks catshooter.

four feet of snow and -10 this week. They willbe delayed a bit here this year

 

[hunter243sgk]

We got a little over a foot here and about the same temp.Thats not real common here.So I bet it will delay them here for sure.

WooHoo! Just read where US farmers are going to plant more soybeans, thanks to $4/bu. corn prices (beans dropped too, but usually cost less to grow and are better for the soil). More beanfields = more groundhogs; never shot many out of corn or wheat fields....

When I used to hunt them up in New York, alfalfa fields were KING! After that, hay fields. But they were BIG AND FAT in those alfalfa fields!

 

[snert]

We now have soybean fields here in NY also...but I have never seen a chuck in one. Alfalfa and pastures on the other hand......yup!!!

Saw one about 5 days ago going up interstate 81. Won't be long now.

What was he driving?

What was he driving?

If he was a NY woodchuck it was a 1991 Pontiac grand am with the optional fender flares (rust), three tires and a donut, with a NASCAR sticker, loose muffler and no door knobs. One window was likely plastic (door froze shut, had to get in) and the gal in the passenger seat had a mustache and long stringy blond/black hair...

Ask me how I KNOW that is what this woodchuck was driving!
