I’d second outlawing decoys. That would mean fewer hunters in the woods. I correlate the legality of decoys with the spike in the number of hunters. Some folks can’t hunt any other way and wound quit if they couldn’t use decoys. I say this not for any biological reason but just to reduce the competition.

I’m no biologist but I’ve always thought 3 things determined if you held turkeys. Habitat, natural food sources, and dry weather during the nesting season. Lose any of those and I’ve typically seen a decline in the population. At least around central Al. Can’t speak for the rest of the state. Reducing predators is an added bonus if you can do it. But I’ve hunted places that always had plenty of turkeys without removing predators.
