[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5545232, member: 2805"] Kill numbers will be essentially unchanged (somewhere between 27,000 and 32,000 this year, depending on percentage of jakes taken in the harvest). Quality of hunting will be noticeably improved this year, with continued improved quality (number of gobbles heard per hunt) slowly improving over next 5 years. The greatest potential for change has to do with the change in public perception of turkeys. Before, most (including landowners) viewed them as an unlimited resource with virtually no value... Now more are taking a vested interest in nesting success by improving habitat, altering when changes to habitat are made (avoiding bushhogging during nesting season), and placing a higher value on turkeys. If this change in perception regarding the value of wild turkeys continues to improve, the steady decline in population may actually be halted. [/QUOTE]
