I'm sure this has been discussed, but with the total number of turkey hunters totaling 100% (obviously) how do you think the percentages break out in kills per season?
0: ______
1: ______
2: ______
3: ______
4: ______
5: ______
total : 100%
I have to imagine the 4 and 5 would be a low amount, less than 10% maybe? just a guess
also gotta guess 0% is high.
Kindof like when you get to be a single digit golfer they say you are in the top 1% of golfers in the world, just a numbers thing and there are a lot of crappy golfers
just a curious question The information you have requested is classified and is not available unless you have security clearance. You could get in big trouble for just asking. I suggest you drop this.  But a good analogy with the golf handicap. The lowest official handicap I ever had was 10, but I know I was playing like an 8 when I gave it up. One night I was paid a visit by a couple of thuggish looking guys who told me my low handicap was making some other golfers feel bad about their game. They explained to me that nobody "needed" to have a handicap that low, and they had decided that 15 was a more reasonable number. I was ordered to start making more bogeys and doubles and get back to 15 or else they would pay me another visit and wouldn't be so nice next time. I decided to just give up golf instead.
All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.

If they wanted to protect the turkey population, why did they legalize decoys? Those are probably good for one or two birds a year even if you don't know what you are doing. Setting the decoys on a food plot and hunting them like deer hurts the population more than a 5 bird limit with no decoys allowed. IMHO. Bingo.

Question for you. I spent my first 18 years growing up in the NW corner of this state before leaving home in the fall of 1994. Despite some relatively rural area, I never saw a wild turkey in the 18 years I lived there. There are now birds in places where they didn't exist before. Heck, turkey season west of Hwy 43 hasn't existed very long. How did these birds expand into those areas? It seems that the very short or closed seasons surrounding those areas certainly helped with population growth. If that's the case, I don't understand why some folks propose that protecting a few more toms each year will have no effect on the population.

If that's the case, I don't understand why some folks propose that protecting a few more toms each year will have no effect on the population. The problem with that question is we have no reason to believe that they wouldn't have expanded into those new areas with a season in place.

I hunt and kill turkeys on properties here in Jackson county,that never had birds 10 years ago;I was also killing limits here then.They just expanded,is the only explanation.
I would rather be turkey hunting

You owe TWinters a big thank you! You now have turkeys because they are running from him!

I can tell y'all the declining population is NOT because of my brother and I. We always do our part to keep the numbers up.
