[QUOTE="TN Larry, post: 4893490, member: 2019"] It's observations in a widespread area for me. It's not just one farm that I am seeing a drastic decline in population the last few years. These are areas with good turkey habitat that did hold a ton of birds. It's also talking with other turkey hunters that are seeing the same thing. Another is from my Dad who is not a turkey hunter. He works for the highway road department so he spends a lot of time on the road throughout the county. He said last year that there is definitely not near as many turkeys as in the past few from his observations. His direct comment this year was "The turkeys are going to go extinct if something doesn't change." That is a tongue and cheek comment in terms of extinction as they are not going to go extinct but maybe from a quality hunt perspective. After this years number of birds that have been killed, I don't really look forward to what the next few have in store. This is one time that I hope that I am wrong....... [/QUOTE]
