[QUOTE="th88, post: 4762606, member: 16217"] One more thing I believe has had an affect is mass conversion of mature timber into pine plantation. Of course this doesn't apply to most of TN, but does apply to Wayne County. On a small scale, the conversion isn't much of an issue as it provides habitat diversity. But I've saw blocks of mature mixed pine/hardwood timber, a couple thousand acres in size, clearcut and replanted in plantation pines throughout Wayne County. Just look at the public lands found there. Once that land is planted it is normally sprayed, thus eliminating the benefits of fresh, nutritious browse. Now I know there are still plenty parts of Wayne with great habitat, but I can spend a couple hours driving through the county and it is easy for me to see how turkeys aren't flourishing there like the once were.
