Yek, so you are saying that several years ago people reported the same thing in areas of TN, and the birds have still not recovered? Yep, I went from having hundreds of birds on the places I hunt to having a handful in a couple years. I'm not exaggerating the hundreds either. There was a gobbling bird on every ridge. It happened on all of my properties in the 2 counties I hunted at the time, which was about 5000 acres at the time. I have great habitat, food, low predators, and never found the first carcass. I've been to several meetings with the state where they were asking the public for help. They are still setting up at check stations and getting samples even this year. They didn't leave or someone else would have them, they died and haven't rebounded any where I'm at. There is a 4 county area in southern middle TN where it happened and it has also happened in the north alabama counties that border those TN counties.
Some men are mere hunters; others are turkey hunters. —Archibald Rutledge—
