[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 4762809, member: 1409"] I totally "get it" as to why we're wondering about turkey population correlation with chickens and chicken litter. But until this correlation can be documented, it may just be happenstance. Am saying this in the context of so many other people leasing/hunting (even more than 2k acres), without the nearby presence of either chicken houses or chicken litter, yet their experience has been just like your good friend's. As to your friend's 2k acre lease, does he feed corn via feeders? Reason I ask is because nearly all the turkeys on an area of 2k acres can be winter "flocked" in just a small part of that range until late March. If the flock encounters aflatoxin-infected corn, all that eat a kernel, die. And they die quicker than CWD-infected deer. A single event such as this would produce the outcome your friend has observed. Just saying, there are so many possibilities, that's why most of us continue to scratch our heads wondering which factors are the most significant. [/QUOTE]
