I used to have that problem a week after planting corn only with ground squirrels in NW Iowa.Badgers got after them then.I rarely ever killed a badger because of his holes.If I ever plowed though it would be amazing the numbers of ground squirrels in the final strip of ground.
Around here the turkey are'nt a bother with corn planting that much.

I imagine your corn grows faster in the spring then ours does Ed. That probably helps. Might be more stuff around for them to eat than here to not sure but they can leave some pretty big bare areas around here. Ours had a second hatch again this year.
That cat kinda has that disgusting look like when the barn swallows are dive bombing them. Total frustration.

This pic reminds me of when we lived in Bluffton, SC. We had a cat, Kiki Dee(former mouser) and one day we saw her is a sneak. Down the street was 2 buzzards eating some kind of road kill. We watched Kiki for about a half hour slowly, stealthily sneak up on the buzzards. She got within a few feet then stood up, turned and walked away. I guess she realized they were bigger than she expected.
 I bet those turkeys have eaten critters almost as big as the cat.

BowEd:
I don't think our corn grows any faster really BJ.It is usually 3"to4" deep when planted though.Could be our birds have other things to eat.One time around here anyway after lime was spread on top before it was disked in the turkeys did clean up a bunch of that.
I've seen large hatches of these too along the driveway.The ones pictured are just a bachelor group.
I'm surprised more of those cats don't disappear because of the owls and hawks around here.
