25 years ago there were significantly more turkeys in my area. That’s not just me saying that but anyone that hunted them back then and still to this day. This also includes southern TN just north of here. Lauderdale population in the line hasn’t lost near the birds we have but they’re down too compared to 25 years ago.

Heck I can ever some areas I’m mentioning just 10 years ago had more birds than now. To be honest it appears Weber turns the corner and is increasing slowly. I will say I’ve seen more poults the last 3 years than the proper 5 or so.

Once again this is talking with guys that have hinted these same areas that I have. In Colbert some guys I know are finally killing birds in places that didn’t have birds 15 years ago. Those areas are increasing rapidly.

Maybe predator base is not there yet especially if those predators are primarily reliant on turkeys/poults/eggs.

🤷‍♂️
