[QUOTE="kbradley, post: 5618075, member: 3446"] Just a thought of mine for a while . In [B]1996[/B], genetically modified Roundup Ready soybeans resistant to Roundup became commercially available, followed by Roundup Ready corn in 1998. Current Roundup Ready crops include soy, maize (corn), canola, sugar beets, cotton, and alfalfa, with wheat still under development. I do not know what the affect of these things have on the wildlife or humans but I have to wonder . Also , many farmers are moving to no till farming and they come through spraying and killing any plant life in the way before but usually after planting . Much of that is done in some of the breeding and nesting season . If this has any affect at all on Turkeys and other wildlife , how long does it take to see those effects ? Some will say no negative affects . Of course some said that about DDT . I am sure there are other factors as others have mentioned but, hawks , owls , coons , possums , snakes , bobcats and coyotes were here when we brought back the turkeys . Did they not know all along that turkeys and eggs tasted good ? This is just something I have thought about . [/QUOTE]
