Chad,
I purchased a propane cannon for that very purpose, but have never fired it. Being located on the property is the best deterent and I no longer need the cannon...anyone can have it for what I paid for it..just PM me, if interested.
Greg, I got a permit in Texas for only $12 year before last and it was unlimited "harvesting". The only requirement was for documentation of how many were harvested.
For some unknown reason, for which I'm very grateful, the water turkeys have just about disappeared from our place. Only one last year and only one so far this year and the season is about over.
