[QUOTE="exarcherman, post: 5633641, member: 23131"] what county is South Cherokee?? taking a gobbler has no effect on the population at all... here in hawkins county the turkey's probably moved the grouse out,,, we have as many as ever in my area (hawkins/greene county line) , quail out for years because of habitat loss, houses and development with clean mowed properties don't go with quail..... I remember when my dad quit hunting quail in the early 70's because of low numbers,, & he just killed 150 or so that yr.. ,, i haven't seen a grouse on my property in 20 yrs now though,,, Turkeys went up as grouse went down,,, i doubt that was coincidence.. i saw 8 gobblers together feeding yesterday,, seems they are through as they wouldn't talk... & these are not hunted.. 2 weeks ago i saw a hen running flat out across a neighbors hay field,, bout 100yds back were 2 big strutting toms... she wanted nothing to do with them... seeing only "lone" hens now.. so they are nesting.. Having fun is the main thing,,, your not killing a tom helped the population by (1) bird.. To thine own self be true!! Take a kid hunting!!. [/QUOTE]
