[QUOTE="Iglow, post: 5875492, member: 22496"] Talking with a friend, at the start , say 1988, there weren’t any turkey hunters with decades of experience because there hadn’t been turkeys in decades. It wasn’t just a boom in hunters . We both agreed that we knew about 4 other guys that turkey hunted then and they were the same guys. The turkey boom happened before the boom of turkey hunters and that boom was made up of younger guys with a lot of “ambition” to do well, their fathers didn’t have turkeys growing up but they did. I believe the hunting pressure by turkey hunting suddenly becoming real popular, all the birds being killed during peak breeding and the disruption of breeding is the cause of the downturn. There was always predators, trapping wasn’t that popular or widespread then and most take was near waterways anyway. There had been protection of raptors for decades before the Turkey rebound started. But, till 2000’s the hunter pressure wasn’t as intense as it became. It’s the only big change in the turkeys world that they encountered during the downturn. I think it’s too many hunters messing with to few turkeys as they try to reproduce. [/QUOTE]
