That farm there I got about 300 acres. Come spring it'll hold about 5 or 6 gobblers. The neighboring farm got into the outfitting business and come spring my farm will hold 5 or 6 birds. Every morning I heard birds go to the neighbors property to the same place day after day. I knew somethin wasn't right so one day I took a little walk. Found a bunch if wheat seed covered up with hay. If I had to feed a turkey to kill him id quit huntin!! It pisses me off just thinking about it but what can ya do?? I'll still get mine, but I remember the good ole days when my hardest problem was tryin to figure out which bird To go after.

I would look into permanent food plots , adjacent to his property

millet , chuffas ,etc....     throw down a good burn on a large grazing field about 4 weeks prior to the season  - keep thick wooded well drained areas with lots of ground cover for nesting , disk the firebreaks

bait gets eaten up quickly , quality habitat is what pulls game to your property

The place I hunt I cannot make food plots. However, the land next too me has the plots that you are describing above and turkeys go there routinely. I have learned the birds roost on the land I hunt, pass through it to go to the food plots on the other land. I may not can plant them but I can get between the birds and the plot. To your point, they draw turkeys routinely and the Hens have a great place for nesting

Nice. I've been hearing from farmers that this March is going to be unusually warm again this year.

Last year it made for a good first couple weeks of the season but sucked towards the end.
