[QUOTE="poorhunter, post: 5618311, member: 16537"] I have been one to say that nest raiders and predators are not THE problem, and I will stand by that statement. Nest raiders have always killed more turkeys than all other factors combined. The idea that hunting or trapping nest raiders enough to make a long term difference in a population is just not realistic. There have always been vast vast acreages where neat raiders have never been trapped or killed and turkeys survived and thrived just fine. On a single farm there is a possibility to have a short term success with extremely intense trapping efforts but not long term. Predator and prey do not abide by property lines. Poisoning? Now THAT would be successful! There is something else going on. [/QUOTE]
