[QUOTE="poorhunter, post: 5102602, member: 16537"] I haven’t read anyone post that they don’t think some areas are doing fine or better than the past. I have read lots of posts saying it’s worse where they hunt and it’s widespread...not universal. I can only speak of my own area. I have heard a roost gobble once this spring. I am not a one time in the woods hunter plus I live where I hunt. All I have to do is walk outside to be able to listen to them. I drive to other properties I have permission to hunt and I drive past pastures and fields that used to have birds in them “all the time”. Universally there are practically no birds anywhere on any of these farms. Just a few short years ago I had hundreds of turkeys I would see all spring. I have laid eyes on two toms and four hens since the season opened. Most guys were not able to see the reality of the decline...they still went out and killed their birds. What they were doing was killing the same number of birds from a smaller and smaller pool of available toms till now “there ain’t no birds anymore, what happened?”. Why aren’t the turkeys able to produce as many poults is the question. [/QUOTE]
