Is it me or just coincidental that very few post dead pics of turkeys anymore?
I would like to see check stations again like the old days. If you get caught not checking a bird in you automatically lose your hunting privileges for 5 years and the turkey population will correct itself!!
I wonder what the problem is????

Well of course that's not the only issue, but it's a primary contributing factor.
Habitat degradation/minimization/fragmentation/elimination and commercial timber management are probably the major causes. Expansion of urban areas unnaturally inflates corvid and raptor populations. Instagram as a replacement for market hunting driving the glorification of a tailgate photo. All those hurt turkey populations. Bottomline, the more people you have doing those things, the more impacts you will see to the turkeys.

Good deal. Everything comes and goes in cycles. The ones bitching do not know what the left side of that bell curve looked like 50 years ago, they just know the peak and how it made them feel good. You don’t want to see the right side of the bell curve.
I read an interesting theory the other day…turkeys are like deer and breed on photo period. Bugs hatch based on temperature so by the time the polts hatch, the bugs are gone and they have less food due to some climate change factors.
That one left a mark

Like the mob that only shows up here to be seen only when turkey season rolls around or some other mob?
Bill, I'm sure you have killed far more turkeys than me, however that is not a compliment. I've been doing it for a long time and the fact remains that average Nest initiation date is April the 10th and MOST of the breeding takes place the last week of March and the first week of April
