[QUOTE="Iglow, post: 5874811, member: 22496"] If the turkey downturn isn't hunting related and season timing and gobbler limits have no bearing on what's happening, if that is so you are living in the last days of the modern golden age of turkey hunting in the southeast. Just as with quail, if it's habitat/ predation/nesting success there is nothing the TWRA can do( or anybody else) on a large scale to reverse the downward trend. They can't alter widespread land use practices just as they couldn't for quail, there is no way enough nest robbers can be killed to offset the damage they cause, the clock can't be wound backwards to another time. Turkey hunting will still exist but in a very limited spotty and expensive form just as quail hunting for wild birds is now. The commercial empire of camo/ tss,lead super shells, decoy stuff, videos and specialized guns etc. will dry up and fade away. Turkeys will be a minor player in the hunting scene much the same way ducks did during the dry years and low limits/short seasons of the 80's and early 90's only the ducks had just to wait for the drought to end to make a comeback, turkeys won't have that option.
