What can I do about water turkeys in my pond?

[savin yours]

I know I can’t kill them, but is there a way to run them off? It seems like there’s always at least one, eating my perch.

Maybe they’ll die if you shoot real close to them……

Not sure what a "water turkey" is. Why can't you kill them? Are they protected or something?

[LakeJake]

The Double Crested Cormorant, aka water turkey, is protected

What water turkey?

Delete this thread and then do what you said you “can’t” do

Why do people ask questions like this on an open forum? Isn't SSS common sense?

[LakeJake]

If this is a recurring problem, SSS may not be a reasonable long term solution...

Good target practice tho! Maybe some cheap arrows and distance shooting? ... I mean take pictures of em [emoji848][emoji848][emoji848]

You’d think but sadly they don’t teach common sense in school these days ...not referring to the OP btw just in general

They on ur property. Do what you want and keep quiet

In some circumstances water turkeys are legal to shoot. I think if you are a commercial fish grower (and I’m sure on my pond) they are not protected.

I’d shoot every one of em. There is a “fishing lake” at the public park in Katy. They stock it several times a year. I’ve seen as many as 30-40 cormorants there. Ridiculous.
