[QUOTE="fairchaser, post: 5364059, member: 10373"] These thoughts are not mine but those of an unnamed biologist. It’s appropriate for this thread. Turkey habitat hasn’t changed much over the decades. That’s not the problem with declining populations. The greatest threat to the turkey population is predators. Not coyotes, not nest raiders or hawks or owls. They have always been around. The ultimate predator is the modern turkey hunter with his decoys, fans and tss. He is a very efficient killer. Even beginners can kill a turkey. Once the boss gobbler is dead, the secondary gobbler is an inefficient, thus an ineffective breeder. This is what needs to change if the turkey population is to rebound. [/QUOTE]
