Default Baiting turkeys?

Not condemning the practice.....but just wondering how many of you hunt turkeys that are baited? It's illegal here in NC (though it's legal to bait deer).

To my knowledge......TX and KS both allow the practice. Which other states allow baiting turkeys?

Hey if your using a call or a blind whats the difference? [:-]



















See that sounds just as stupid when talking about turkeys as it does when people spout it when talking about deer hunting.[]

Let me ask another question.........

What do you think your success rate would be if you WERE allowed to (and chose to) bait turkeys?

Valid question. Would your odds go up 50%? More?

As a percentage of hours added success would go up,and I think many more guys would hunt after work. Its not legal here in PA but patterning bird going to roost seems easy enough.

In all honesty, If we could hunt in the afternoons I think my odds would go up, well beyond 50%.
