These useless, retarded fucking birds are not native to here, have no redeeming qualities, but yet there's comical limits on hunting them (only 3 birds per year).
If I could get away with it, I'd take my shotgun to every single one of these useless fucking things and bury them in a big hole.

These fucking things are tearing up some freshly patched up parts of my lawn, right as the new grass has just started to grow. Now I have to get some more seed, and burlap to keep them away from it.

Poor baby.
I'm trying to make shit look nice here, so when a pack of large birds that are literally retarded (they can fly very well, but decide to repeatedly run head first into the fence every time I come to chase them away), and drop shit the size of small dog shit all over my porch and veranda, fuck up my shit, I get angry.
Now I have to redo the grass, spending time and money that wouldn't be necessary if not for these packs of invasive shithawks.

See, I would throw down veggie leaves I scabbed from the super market,... lettuce and cabbage leaves...
We have buffalo grass... you grow that from runners....But having said all that, we don't have wild turkeys.
What about wood chipping that area instead of grassing it?

Ruger 10/22 with a soda bottle silencer. No one will ever know. Make sure you put a thermal scope on it like I did to mine. Yes, I own a $300 rifle with a $2000 scope.

I thought about this. I do own a Marlin Model 60 (.22 LR), and was considering experimenting with subsonic rounds and other suppression techniques (suppressors are illegal in this country). It's equipped with a cheap ass Bushnell scope though...
My other option could be an air rifle, but those are viewed as firearms once muzzle velocity exceeds 500 FPS here, so I'm not sure if even a .22 cal air rifle @ 500 FPS would pack enough kick to reliably do the job.
The .22 LR running subsonics may be my best bet... Knowing my neighbours, they'd most likely be appreciative if I cleaned up the neighbourhood of these nuisance flying shit machines.

Ya, you guys have the Eastern Wild Turkey out there. At one point these nuisance birds were hunted out of existence, but for some reason unknown to me, they were reintroduced and protected as a species. To even mention culling nuisance species would have the tree huggers up in arms.
Most people don't even like the taste of them, preferring to eat the Domesticated Turkey instead.

I have eaten Merriam's turkeys. The white meat is industinguishable from heritage breed domestic turkeys like the Standard Bronze which look like wild turkeys.

I assumed you'd be breaking your federal law period. I'd own a .22 with a suppressor anyway as it is a great means of killing anything and if you're breaking the law, who gives a fuck if its full auto at that point.

I bought some burlap to place over the areas that I'll fix up. That can stay on the ground until the grass is well established, keeping the shit machines from destroying my hard work and money.

I've never eaten a Merriam's, but the people out here that have typically prefer the store bought ones. I'll take their word for it, before cooking something that I'll just end up throwing out anyways...

I can shoot firearms on my property here. I just have to be 100 meters away from any house if I recall. I don't because I don't want to be a bad neighbour and make noise, but a subsonic .22 LR may be quiet enough to not bother anyone.

Does Canduhduh force you to use only bolt actions? Also, are hollow points illegal?

If buffalo grass grows in Canada that is the toughest grass...
Grow some of that.
Seems that St. Augustine grass isn't really suitable for our climate (too cold).
When I overseeded, the hardiest blend I could find for our climate is called Horse Pasture mix (usually only found at farmers supply markets), which I used but it's crazy expensive and only comes in big sacks.
For small patch jobs like this I just use a drought resistant, slow growing mix, which is good for this climate:
Perennial Ryegrass
Purple Tansy
Crimson Clover

The vast majority of semi-auto rifles are now prohibited thanks to Trudeau, which means people have to keep them secured in their homes. This is the strangest gun ban I've ever seen. Pump and lever actions are still good to go though, as are semi-auto shotguns and rimfires.
So my Marlin 60 semi-auto .22 LR is legal to take out and shoot.
Hollow points are legal.

Lay down chicken wire... then plant ground cover plants..
You never have to mow it ... the chicken wire will stop the Turkey scratching..
I have designed a few front yards...
How many turkies have invaded your space?

The burlap will stop the Turkey's from scratching. Once the grass is established they'll leave it alone. I've been through this once before with the damn things, and should've known they'd be up to their old tricks.
My property is quite large, so I'm unwilling to undergo any significant changes. Just want to be able to get on the ride-on mower, have a few brews, and cut.
Basically I'm just filling in a few dips that the mower struggles through, leveling things out a bit. The Turkey's roam in packs here of maybe four to 10...

Yes, that area is huge.... what trees are they?
In that area are the remainder of apple trees from when this area was an apple orchard. They still produce, but not always reliably. Two cherry trees, birch trees, maple tree, and two 'I don't even know what the hell those are' trees...

You have to feed them veggies like I said to get rid of the game taste... and should only eat the youngest.... not the old ones..
But see, I would love to have them in my garden but my husband would freak out.... we have chickens... 3 of them. They keep my backyard weed free... my garden is the front yard.which faces north east...

Almost all turkeys sold in stores since about the 1960's are Broad Breasted Whites. They are the turkey equivalent of cornish cross chickens. A fast growing commercial breed with lots of breast meat.
Wild turkey are very similar to domestic breeds like Royal Palm and especially Standard Bronze. They have less breast meat. and more meat on the legs for foraging. But, if you make three white meat turkey sandwiches- one with white Broad Breasted White, another with Standard Bronze and another with wild turkey, you would not be able to tell the difference between the three of them.

You only have to be 18 years old.
Most of the air-rifles have muzzle velocity around 1000 fps.

My family has eaten wild turkey hunted in the Crowsnest Pass area......we liked it very much.
Actually why couldn't wild Turkey be edible?
People consume farm Turkeys all the time.
Wild Turkey probably like eating free range beef
Probably a lot healthier too

They're different. Wild Turkey's are a dirty bird, not the same as you'd buy in the store.

The taste was almost the same as domestic turkey.

Surprisingly non-gunpowder weapons dont require a license in here.
You only have to be 18 years old.
Most of the air-rifles have muzzle velocity around 1000 fps.
6,35mm pellet... Its pretty big for an air-rifle.
Here you see a lot of 495 fps in sporting goods stores. Anything about that requires a non restricted Purchase and Acquisition License.

You have to feed them veggies like I said to get rid of the game taste... and should only eat the youngest.... not the old ones..
But see, I would love to have them in my garden but my husband would freak out.... we have chickens... 3 of them. They keep my backyard weed free... my garden is the front yard.which faces north east...
Here they are, destroying the spots I'm trying to level out as we speak. I must fix it back up, seed, and burlap it today. I can chase these fucking things away, but they keep coming back...(//%3C/s%3E%3CURL%20url=%22https://i.ibb.co/DLHCCGn/Capture.png%22%3Ehttps://i.ibb.co/DLHCCGn/Capture.png%3C/URL%3E%3Ce%3E)

I don't care if they eat my lawn of weeds, but they need to stay away from the dips I've filled in. Burlap has now been placed, and will solve the problem.

Wild Turkeys taste better than farm raised.

That's subjective. The locals here prefer the farm raised domestic Turkey, even though this area is infested with Wild Turkey's...

I like naturally raised meats. Domestic turkey flesh always tasted off to me.... like something you'd get on a KFC burger, then bite into the other half and almost lose teeth.
Wild critters need to be cooked thoroughly, so I get the reluctance..

We'd love to. Everyone here considers them a nuisance. Even the most lefty, dope smoking, tie die wearing hippy here most likely wouldn't give a shit if you came and shot 20, when the limit is 2.

Now THAT was a great and funny self-deprecating response.
I like you more now because of it.
Don't sweat the small stuff or the lil itty bitty stirring stuff others may do with unseen smirks on their faces..
Because you did spend some time in QLD and I know you know that I know you know slagging someone off for S&G's is just good form...
An art form in some quarters...
