This is another farm that I hunt across and down the highway from the main farm that I hunt. We haven't seen this many birds since 2010.

Good to see them, only problem is when the season opens they will most likely be in the next county

I am seeing a good number this fall too. Biggest winter flocks we have seen in years.

I talked to my uncle earlier this week he had flocks of 5, 22, 14, and 10 all Jakes and Longbeards walk by him in the woods a few days ago. That's 50+ male turkeys the most he'd seen before was 27. Before anyone says it is because of the new limit just know the baiting neighbors still killed their 4-6 gobblers each last year.

Nothing to do with new regs all to do with a couple good hatches

I have seen a ton of turkey this year. Hopefully it carries over to me seeing them in the spring lol.

It's interesting that there are a lot of reports of great hatches on here this year after the changes last season makes ya wonder lol

I believe it's like everything else
There are good years and bad years
When species of critters feel threatened they have a tendency to produse more offspring . When species are stable you see less of a bithing boom .
It's nice to see a good hatch , either way

Weve had great hatches last three years , has nothing to do with the foolish reg changes! It always has and will be weather and predator dependate not the day you kill your gobbler
