Well, I better go get my license tomorrow as this is the last week. Really, Turkeys are so stupid that they are easier to fish for than fish. Fish nibble at the bait before they take it. For turkey you don't need a pole , just some 25 lb. test line and a small hook, A can of whole kernel corn is the final item. Find a turkey trail by tracking their foot prints and put down a row of corn kernels. After about 10 add one with the hook and tie the line to a nearby tree. They find the corn and grab it as fast as they can and swallow without delay. The hook catches in their crawl and you have a bird. Put to lines down side by side and the next bird in line will swallow the second hook but tie the line to a different tree or they will flop and make a real snare of the line. The method has also been used by little boys catching carp in mud holes, but that is a different story. <br><br>
