Planted brown top millet in several fields a few years ago and it has been coming back pretty good every year. Last fall after the brown top seeded out I sprayed it with glyphosate and then over seeded Durana clover. Got a excellent stand of clover and now the brown top is coming up through it in places. Been seeing turkeys in the field daily and looks like the perfect height for poults and hens to feed in.
Also purchased 2 all season turkey feeders which have been a total flop. Had over 1500 pictures of coons feeding from them and 0 turkeys. I suspected the coons would eat out of them but was hoping a few turkeys would as well. I called all seasons and told them they might need to go back to the drawing board on the feeders. Woman said excuse me, then said she had never had anyone complain about coons eating out of there feeders before.
Anyway, I plan on elevating them so coons can’t reach them.

Re: Durana clover + brown top millet.
I don't know anything about those feeders but know that coons are some pretty smart when it comes
to defeating the best laid plans to keep them out of feeders, almost as bad as squirrels.
Send the woman you talk with some pics of the coons feeding. Might prompt them to look into the issue.

Re: Durana clover + brown top millet.
I offered to and she suddenly had ideas on how to remedy the problem. Her first suggestion was to build exclusion pen around the feeders then she mentioned elevating the feeders. I know plateau makes elevated feeders but they don’t ship them. I hope a Alabama turkey can figure out a elevated feeder. They work out west but round here turkeys a lot more wild acting.HunterGKS wrote: ↑August 3rd, 2021, 5:21 pm I don't know anything about those feeders but know that coons are some pretty smart when it comes

You elevate the feeders and you'll get pictures of the raccoons toting ladders.

I know how to get rid of the coons also ....... Can't talk about it here but them boys on quail plantations sure know how to do it ...
Turkeys have no problem using spin feeders , they hit my Moltries during deer season while running straight corn . Coons do climb them and spin out all they want also .
