Let’s ask a bunch of turkey hunters to volunteer information Dont have to ask they literally post it all over the interwebs these days I’d believe a fisherman before a turkey hunter. Especially a hardcore one. They’ll lie to your face, they’ll travel miles to take their pic somewhere else tha where the bird was killed. Gunterville duck hunters were just as bad. Taking pics in a freenimys hole. I used to carry spent hills and Turkey feathers for fun. The internet makes it fun deciphering the truth

Damn , Tallapoosa used to be loaded with them in the early 80s
.
I used to hunt the old Dadeville lumber company land I saw droves of turkey ever time I went deer hunting It was still in the 90s into the early 2000s but my buddy says it’s gotten bad over there to the point he doesn’t hunt it as much. He’s a straight up turkey killer bclc knows him and will vouch.
Would walk over a naked woman to get to a gobblin turkey!

They use to be stuck on #4, now they’re just stuck on #3. The 4 bird limit will not matter to most.

There are 3 of us that have been turkey hunting since the mid 80's. We have all had kids and nephews, etc. We have trained directly 13 other turkey hunters now and we are still alive so what was 3 in the mid 80's is now 16 turkey hunters roaming the woods.... regularly.
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

That’s a fact. I know it’s not good for my personal killing but it’s hard not to show the ropes to the young bucks in your family who don’t mind walking a few miles and not complain. I had an uncle teach me a lot of what I know and now his boys are out knee booting like I used to do having a ball. Much better than them running the roads and getting in trouble though. The woods are a good place to be

Here's another way of looking at those numbers.......The counties in yellow have shown a stable harvest over the last 4 years.........the counties in green have shown a steady 4 year increase.......and the counties in red have shown a 4 year decline.......give or take.....A few counties are kinda on the bubble between yellow and red.....Seems to be a pretty clear pattern though for areas of growth and decline ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/KGNOhf7.jpg)

Just think the first year decoys we’re allowed 72,000 we’re killed. Before 2006 we averaged around 45,000.
