Wild Turkeys
I live south of Weatherford Texas. I have been feeding a flock of wild Turkeys all winter out in front of my home. I feed them cracked corn, 50 lbs a week. Can anyone tell me if this is the best feed for them or not? I have a lot of wild life around my home, deer and turkey mostly. I do not shoot the wild life around my home. When I was younger I always had a hunting lease and really did enjoy the taste of wild game. Now I just like to photograph them. I guess I'm getting soft in my old age.

Re: Wild Turkeys
Corn will probably be good enough. If not they will still scratch and fnd what they need.

Re: Wild Turkeys
Cracked corn works well for turkeys, and deer, and squirrels, and possums, and crows, and rats, and birds, and ..... Well, I think ya get the idea!

Re: Wild Turkeys
Well, being from Denison, I think you should have me down there so I could "acquire' one and we could do a taste test.

Re: Wild Turkeys
Love wild turkey. Best wild game I've had yet was smoked wild turkey.
