Trapping completely left the equation here, it was a profit back in the day and the bottom fell out. Also, I know many of farmers and hunters that took care of the hawks and anything that was considered not welcome. Nature will do its thing I don't care what anyone says but I sometimes like to help it along. 1 thing I have noticed is coyotes and coons are in every holler and on each ridge. I have hunted and seen a lot of turkeys in areas where I'd not hear a gobble or a turkey sound of any kind. I don't blame 1 or several to not gobble, they get ate. I feel they have adapted to survival by being quite.
