PCP…….I think the time frame I have circled below is a very telling one……This is the time period in which they legalized decoys……Look how much the harvest jumped in a single year to an all time high of 72 K birds before plummeting down to 37K in just two seasons……This is not normal fluctuation……What this tells me is…..we had a good amount of excess gobblers that were not being killed before decoys…..Once we legalized them success rates went up and we wiped out the excess……Then we rebounded and stabilized but now we’re likely just harvesting each year’s yield and there isn’t that excess anymore……Decoys are likely allowing us to harvest the majority of the gobblers. If we’re killing off that large of a percentage of the gobblers then I could see where it very well could be having an impact on getting the hens bred if the majority are killed within the first couple weeks.
