While we’re on the topic……Check out the comparison in these two maps…..The first one is the one I made for last year’s gobbler harvest density…..If you rememeber, each county was measured by 1 gobbler killed per “X” amount of acres of land. The bottom map is our topography map but if you use your imagination a little bit then that’s also showing us a green-up map. I think turkey247 probably has a very valid case for why the south west portion of the state is getting screwed. Those folks who have been saying that Wilcox, Clarke, etc has plenty of turkeys probably arent too far off base…..The difference on the kill rate map I made in those folks on the western side versus the eastern side of south alabama is probably a lot simply due to how the first week of the season falls out in comparison to their green up. Those little dots of darker yellow probably have the best opportunities. Macon, Bullock, Russell and a few other counties are being heavily influenced by big swings in the other factors I’ve been talking about as well and that has a lot to do with the way those areas look on last year's map. When I redraw this same map for this year’s data those areas will be yellow and green again and it’ll dang near look just like the “green-up” map for that part of the state.
