[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5099901, member: 1409"] I'd totally agree with you, at least in the short term (next year or two or three). Unlike many hunting leases, Ames has separate deer and turkey hunting "clubs", as most are for both "deer & turkey"? It ultimately all comes back to supply vs. demand. If turkey populations continue to decline across TN and the entire Southeast, that will correlate with a decline in interest for turkey hunting. You and I are relatively "old". Who will replace us, pay what we did, for the "privilege" of what was our hunting? If what I see in Stewart County is any indication, it ain't happening. Add to these thoughts that more of the newer hunters are more about just a source of organic "food" (wild game) than the hunting. For many of them, killing a turkey or a deer on their neighbor's 5 acres, for "free", is going to win out over paying a relatively high annual fee for what they see as similar "privilege". [/QUOTE]
