Better check your game laws. In WI it's illegal to hunt turkeys over bait. It's not illegal to plant a corn field, however.

Baiting turkeys is illegal in most states..There is at least one exception...Texas.. I strongly suspect that it's illegal in Va...

It's really not necessary, either... Scouting will tell you where the birds are ....

It's illegal in Georgia as well. However, that doesn't mean that you can't hunt a field planted or that was planted in corn or a grain crop of some kind. Check you state laws, it will tell you.

Illegal in NC. Try planting some chufa. That's legal almost everywhere. Turkeys love it.

if you can go to a corn field to hunt thats where i would go because the turkey will stay around there because of the food that is there. im not sure if you can bait turkeys or not better check the laws..

illegal to bait in vermont, too. but try finding some freshly tilled fields and wherever the farmers have been spreading that black gold, you'll find them there, too. they love the insects that it draws, plus give a whole different meaning to " picking corn", lol.
