on my lease in Monroe County. Well, I was GOING to hunt, but couldn't. We have a couple of members that don't turkey hunt so I guess they figured it didn't matter. There were two of these in different foodplots. I'll be discussing with them today how they've ruined our turkey hunting for awhile..........

Talk about inconsiderate!

OUCH!!!

Two years ago, I took two feeders down (a new member had put them up) and took them back to the club house.

One feeder was set up on a pine "island" out in a swamp where I loved to work the birds.

My ears and neck were RED when I saw that thing there as the sun came up!!!

I'd haul their feeder away and let them come to me and ask what happened to it.

Oh but remember supplemental feeding never hurt anybody and is legal in this state so...............

You can't. If your property has feed anywhere on it, it is baited.

Jasper,at least you were man enough to not hunt there.
To many people would have set up and hunted the area.

No It's Dumb and Dumber from the lease. I know who it is, Jasper knows who it is and I'd bet $100.00 Tim knows who it is. Burns me up cause I almost went Saturday myself. It's the only place I have to go except a wma and it's the most convenient because of having my camper there but NOOOOOOOO, I can't go there because who knows where the other feeders or piles of corn are. Last year I called to a bird for several hours that was just off one of the plots. John is a patient man. I believe those feeders would have ended up going to my backyard to feed the local pets.

Some people.
I am in a club in Butts co. and the presidents brother in laws son POURED corn in all the food plots.
Now we can't hunt on land we paid to hunt.
Told the president and he didn't do anything about it.
Probably going to be my last year in this club.

We use half corn and half protein pellets in our feeders all spring and summer... the rule is 200 yrds and out of sight for corn. we just put the feeders in an one or two areas and not hunt around them

You really need to read the regs.
200 Yards and out of line of sight is legal.

The 200 yard rule is for deer only. According to a local warden. If it's on the property for turkey it is considered baiting......................
