Turkeys

[David Grove]

The turkeys in the East Bay are going nuts. Thought I would share a pic of one I got yesterday with a bow. It was a small tom but it walked to within about 10 feet so it was tough to pass up.

Just saw this post.  Nice bird.

I was luckless in my Cedar Roughs and Cache Creek public land attempts this year.   Where do you hunt turkey in the East Bay?   

I live in Lafayette and have, at any given time had between 6-12 turkeys taunting me in my yard (as well as deer and coyote).   No firearms discharge in city limits...   those toms know it too.

Thanks. You should look at the law because in Pleasanton it also says no discharging of firearms in the city limits. But, they define firearm as "anything that discharges a projectile as a result of a release of pressure in a breech". That does not describe archery. I checked with the local police enforcement and they concurred...opens up all kinds of private lands opportunities.

Unfortunately, the powers the be in Lafayette have said:

8-601 Definition of firearm.
In this Article 1, “firearm” means a gun, pistol, rifle, revolver, air rifle or air gun, b-b gun and bow and arrow or crossbow, or any other instrument of any kind, character or description which throws or projects a bullet or missile or substance by means of elastic force, air or explosive substance likely to
cause bodily harm. (Ord. 439 § 2 (part), 1995: Ord. 433 § 9 (part), 1994: 

At the risk of self incrimination, I can say that kids in the neighborhood do occasionally do some archery with no real objections and my neighbor tries to scare away raccoons with a BB gun,  but technically this is illegal.

Interestingly there is an exception if you are acting in defense of harm to your domestic animals.   I am very sure that my cat is intimidated by those turkeys....  just saying...

Oh well. Was worth checking.
