[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5698459, member: 2805"] 2 years in a row of good hatches. Turkey populations wildly fluctuate based on nesting success. Turkeys dont have a biological carrying capacity because their diet is so varied, so reproduction is not hindered by social dynamics or food limitation. A local population can literally quadruple in a year with a good hatch. Conversely, a population can crash in a single year with a poor hatch combined with hunting harvest. It's why many of us feel hunting limits should vary based on the success or failure of the prior summers hatch. [/QUOTE]
