Hi
Does anyone out there have a good cure for keeping Wild Turkeys out of the gardens.  We have between 25-30 Wild Turkeys who live in the woods at the end of our pastures.  They are walking all through the gardens.  There is not a lot of things up yet but there will be shortly and I am a bit nervous as to what they will eat besides bugs. 

I have thought of two strands of electric fence, or possibly some of those scare eye balloons.  What do you all think would work best.


Well, I had problems with smaller birds!  I riged up an inflatable owl on a line!  The line was attached to a motor that ran the owl out over the garden and back on odd intervals.  I increased or decreased intervals based on bird behavior!  I also riged up an airhorn to balst at times.  Could associate the two together or not!
