[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5835781, member: 1409"] That's about 1 bird killed per 900 acres of habitat. Low as that is, it's in the ballpark of most TN private lands, and a little better than many TN public lands. In 2023 Spring Turkey, LBL killed 48 turkeys on about 60,000 acres (TN portion). That's about 1 bird per 1,250 acres. Pathetic, but still comparable to surrounding area. The "good ole days" of turkey hunting in most of TN have been long past now for several years. For quail, even longer. In Stewart County, I think the last time I heard or saw "Bob White" was about 3 yrs ago. I hear there's still a remnant population, but they must no longer beautifully whistle like they once did, nor do they run along side or get seen crossing the gravel roads. How's the quail population doing now at Ames? I've always had this fear that, as go the quail, so will the turkey. [/QUOTE]
