Most turkey hunters are law abiding fair chase sportsmen. Unfortunately, turkey hunting also brings out plenty of dumbasses. I think the only trouble those guys will face is hunting without a license and trespassing, which is a shame. BTW, turkey hunting is regulated by the states. If it were a federal bird, God knows what the fines and sentences would be. Even being a state issue, the fines are still pretty steep. Baiting for doves can cost you $100,000.00. Baiting turkeys will cost you less than a thousand. Doesn't seem fair for some reason

. People are going to keep poaching because they know that they are going to get just a slap on the wrist. If they get caught by the Feds, that's a different story.
