Deer baiting during turkey season

[280 Man]

Our local DNR ranger said it was okay as long as you were over 200 yards and out of line of sight and not intercepting the turkeys going to the feeder.

It seems that if corn/bait are out that anywhere "you" set up would be intercepting the turkeys heading to the bait.

I'm not sure how that would be determined, that is what he said.

Not if they have been to feeder already. Then, you see, you are catching them on way to roost. Totally different.

 

[Throwback]

Per GA DNR! If you own 500 acres you can't even put corn on 1 acre of it.

Just remember that even in areas where hunting deer over bait is legal, no where in Georgia can you hunt turkeys on property that is baited.

So what if it’s a 10,000 acre plantation?

this is not in your game regulations

Did you get this "guys" name and badge number!! You gonna need it so you tell the judge what he said you could do. If there's on thing Im sure of, it really doesn't matter what some "officer" says you can or cannot do. What matters is, the actual law statute..

I'm not sure about your game laws but where Im from. If the LEO's catch you hunting over, near bait, they just bow their heads and say, "Lord, we thank you for what we are about to receive"

Good luck.....

Has anyone mentioned knowledge and intent yet?

I didn't have to ,I know him personally and he would be the one to write the ticket.
I also don't turkey hunt so it really doesn't make any difference to me.

Was always taught to get between the gobbler and where he wants to go. Gonna be a lot easier this year with the corn feeders out.

 

[killerv]

We feed all year, never even thought of it. I guess just give me the ticket.

its a different kind of ticket...its federal. Much larger fines, etc.
