Thats nuts up there half the people hate them half feed them. Seen as many as 20 under a bird feeder up there. The lady was going through 75# of corn a week. "Wild turkeys " that must go 30# , They looked like the ones on the South Park show

Hell, we have the same problem year round with whitetails here in Irondequoit. The herds in Durand-Eastman Park can't be hunted, have no predators and wander the surrounding neighborhoods freely, day and night. Been argued over for years.

it was my understanding that durand does have permits issued by the dec and a special program to keep the number down, are they not doing that anymore

They did some half-assed bait & shoot with police sharpshooters from 1993 to 2003 while the crazies yelled about darting them with contraceptives instead. I find some mention of a "Town of Irondequoit managed bow hunting program" in 2003 but I can't find details or anything current. I'm a resident - maybe I'll try the town clerk's office. Wouldn't mind filling my freezer locally for a change.

*** found this mention from last year: http://www.irondequoitpost.com/features ... -under-way
