A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

I seldom ever (if ever) see an eagle eating carrion. There are eagles here, but they mostly hunt live prey. :)
In some places in Wyoming it is nothing to see half a dozen Bald Eagles sitting on and eating a road killed deer. The ones around here like to hunt jackrabbits or go stream fishing for fish or help themselves to roadkilled deer.

It might be the territory they are in that makes the difference? A lot of small game around here from mice and chipmunks to the possum and raccoons. And of course, the deer population in Maryland is over 216.000 head. This past deer season harvested over 83,000. So there are a ton (actually several hundred tons lol) of deer!

From yesterday late morning.

WOW! I scream when I have to pay $18 for 50#s. Go here and put in your zip and see who pops up around you. Make sure you call who ever pops up to make sure they have feed as some of their retailers only do lawn care.
i pay about $18 for my feed, that link gave me 2 places 1.5 hours away so 3 hours r/t
:/

You might want to look into becoming a feed supplier.
this is an idea, wonder how to go about doing that

awwwww

Do a search for the brands of feed available in your area. Contact the feed makers of the brands that you are interested in carrying and ask if they would consider making you a dealer and the costs involved. You will also need to contact your state government in order to obtain a license to collect sales tax if feed in your area is taxed.

Contact your local small business council to see if they can help or at least provide guidelines for setting yourself up as a business, etc. You might even get some assistance from your local Better Business Bureau.

Make sure that you are zoned for a business or file for a variance that will allow you to operate a business on your property.

This is just a starting point. There is always liability insurance to be considered too.

If the feed makers find that you are in an area that is not serviced by a competing dealer, they may assist you in getting started.
 
R2, I've already got an email off to Tennessee Department of Agriculture with questions. middle TN is a feed desert if you feed non-gmo or organic... Tucker is $17/bag, my custom blend is $14.20/bag (wonder why the co-op ran out of ingredients?). The mill in AL starts at $8.20/bag, if memory serves, his turkey starter runs about $15/bag.
