Last year before turkey season I asked the wildlife officer about the legality of going to my turkey hunting spot a few weeks early with a turkey call and a predator rifle. For the last few years when I start turkey calling, the coyotes start coming in and we have no success. All I wanted to do was remove a few yotes and teach the rest not to come to a turkey call. The officer said it was illegal and I would get a ticket, and he is a friend of mine.
