I know a few guys who have found bait this year, blatant turkey bait being actively hunted over, and won't report it or even address it to their landowner/prez/etc. They dont want green jeans on their dirt.
I used to be of the same mindset, but I've found more bait this year than all previous years combined, 3 being feeders within sight from the property line, one with gobbling followed by a shotgun blast on opening week. Saw 2 guys on an atv per my cams on a 4k acre lease Im in toting white feed bags up and down the powerline. No clue if they were even members as the lease has an unorganized, wild west type of a roster.
Had a "hunter" in the lease who doesnt hunt turkeys compare it to deer bait (oh whats the big deal) and deemed reporting of bait as snitching.....
......"SNITCHING"......Is it something to be ashamed of though? Georgia hunters lost a tag and a week(s) of hunting due to overharvesting/pressure.
How many birds plastered all over the internet are being killed under or around "deer feeders" (the typical response when/if confronted)?
