[QUOTE="Setterman, post: 5582991, member: 8139"] I absolutely believe in the dominant gobbler theory. Our populations started declining with the onslaught of strutter decoys. Look at Alabama’s trend, it begins an immediate down turn the moment they legalized decoys. Too many dominant birds killed the first two weeks leaving hens not being bred therefore less nest initiation. This of course leads to a population decline over time. For me it’s blatantly obvious and has been that way for years upon years. Also, more googans killing more birds every year. These hunters stand no chance without the decoys this leading to less available gobblers in the flock to hunt and breed. Hell I consider myself fairly seasoned in the Turkey woods and stand almost no chance with a henned up dominant bird, especially a field bird. Dang things are brutal to kill. [/QUOTE]
