[QUOTE="Iglow, post: 5610590, member: 22496"] I don’t know how old the posters are but imo we saw the high point 10 -15 years ago and we will never see it like that again. Before it was empty habitat that was there waiting for stocking and it worked, now it’s different, we’ve created a world that isn’t friendly for turkeys same as we did to quail and grouse. They may hang on in pockets and we may have a short season with low limits but most hunters will lose interest with that and it won’t matter, turkeys, turkey hunters and turkey hunting will fade away just like quail/grouse and quail/grouse hunters/hunting did. It’s sad. TWRA isn’t at fault here, there is little they can do, they can’t magically change the landscape back to what it was for either species. The only thing that can fix it is a time machine and I haven’t seen one of those laying around. Enjoy what you have for now and if you’re old enough to have gotten in on the good years at least you got to see it at its best. [/QUOTE]
