I did this 2 years ago and found it interesting, so would love to do it again. Last time results were: 74 turkey hunters killed 214 birds in Alabama and saw an additional 164 die in Alabama These 74 people generated 17 limits for 22% of the hunters killing a limit However, only 64 people actually killed so that is 27% of the successful hunters killed a limit. Total numbers is 2.9 birds per hunter and 3.3 birds killed per successful hunter. An additional 2.2 birds per hunter were seen killed.
I would love to know what the average kill per "interested" turkey hunter is in Alabama. That would be an interesting and meaningful number. Anyone opening the thread titled "true turkey kill totals" is an interested and qualified hunter. Here is what I am asking for.
Please post what YOU killed in Alabama (and ONLY Alabama) and, separately, any others you SAW die, again IN Alabama. Please post ONLY ONCE in this thread since I want to use the total posts and divide the total kills by that number to see average kills per hunter. If you have a comment or story , please post in another thread. If you are reading this, hunted, but killed 0, please post that also!! Every turkey hunter posting this has had a 0 year and it will make the analysis relevant. Thanks!
I'll start: Me 5 saw 6 more die
running total 11

The totals got off because as soon as you post to one reply, there were 2 other posts happening at the same time. I edited my post to show correct total.

I killed 5 in Alabama Saw 1 other one die in Alabama but one of the ones I killed T Winters has already added it as one he saw die and one of the ones I saw die another member has already added as one he killed so I think the correct number would be

275 I'm with ya Brent, if you post kills you saw and another member posts as well that counts some twice. Or is that figure really supposed to be what was killed over the limit?

My friend killed 3 and his son got 1 = 431 That is not following instructions . What YOU killed and what YOU saw killed
I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine

Looks like there has been about twice as many reported as 2 years ago. Either aldeer is still growing or 2016 was a better year. Edit: read it too early in the morning. Ignore the above. It appears that aldeer posters take about 1% of the turkeys killed in AL.
All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.

Looks like there has been about twice as many reported as 2 years ago. Either aldeer is still growing or 2016 was a better year. Edit: read it too early in the morning. Ignore the above. It appears that aldeer posters take about 1% of the turkeys killed in AL. You must be ready for the summary My numbers could be checked and corrected, but this is what I got and I am sticking to it. There WAS some culling. results were: 122 turkey hunters killed 293 birds in Alabama and saw an additional 118 die in Alabama These 122 people generated 29 limits for 24% of the hunters killing a limit However, only 108 people actually killed so that is 27% of the successful hunters killed a limit. Total numbers is 2.4 birds per hunter and 2.7 birds killed per successful hunter. An additional 1 bird per hunter were seen killed. For comparison: Last time results were: 74 turkey hunters killed 214 birds in Alabama and saw an additional 164 die in Alabama These 74 people generated 17 limits for 22% of the hunters killing a limit However, only 64 people actually killed so that is 27% of the successful hunters killed a limit. Total numbers is 2.9 birds per hunter and 3.3 birds killed per successful hunter. An additional 2.2 birds per hunter were seen killed. If there are 40,000 turkeys killed in AL, PCP is correct, Aldeer hunters participated in 1% of the kill in the State!
