[QUOTE="poorhunter, post: 5892484, member: 16537"] There is some credible research that says what you’re saying about a population explosion when introduced and then coming back down to normal, but that would take place within 5-10 years at most for a species like wild turkey. Turkeys have thrived and expanded for decades in some places. This is akin to the disappearance of bobwhite quail. Everyone wants to blame habitat loss or cutting down fence rows, and that’s utterly comical. There’s thousands upon thousands of acres of prime quail habitat all over and the birds are gone. Something, most likely disease imo, but also maybe herbicides/pesticides, or something that made them sterile, got introduced to quail and slowly they got wiped out. It certainly wasn’t hunting pressure with quail, but it could be with turkeys. [/QUOTE]
