[QUOTE="7mm08, post: 5255645, member: 4573"] Possums, skunks, coons, raptors and coyotes….. nobody traps anymore. Old time grouse hunters swear the increasing Turkey population is heck on grouse eggs, and chicks. Grouse are cyclical in population even in MN, WI, and CANADA. Research theories show the birch trees buds have a defensive mechanism to produce more or less depending on bird populations. But to me it’s all multifactorial. And then here there is little clear cutting anymore. Lastly ATV’s. If a guy can ride a trail 20 miles looking for birds in a road and then ground sweep ( shoot) them it’s going to effect a population if a guy walks 2-3 miles with dogs and calls it a day and be happy to flush a few and feel lucky if he kills a limit. So ATV’s are partly to blame in my humble opinion [/QUOTE]
