It's just field corn.

Are there deer on a roadway or trail there?

You feed them? My gosh I have enough problems without feeding them. For awhile the wife would throw cracked corn out for the chickens till I told them the turkeys were eating about 50# of feed a week. I have free range chickens that only stay in a house at night.

The Turkeys were going into the hen house and eating everything. I solved the problem by leaning a 5' screen across the opening. The chickens can make the turn, turkeys cannot.

Deer and turkeys are a pest here and there is a lot of them. Probably 50 turkeys in two seperate bands went through this morning.

There are two deer and 5 or 6 turkeys in that pic.

I am feeding them for now, we just moved here and I set up my feeder and deer cam to find out who lived in the neighborhood.

I watched two big toms chase hens around for 20 mins. yesterday. I also found
out that a friend of a friend owns 57 acres across from me. Looks like I may have a new hunting spot!
