Can we assume better on cold crisp mornings and worse on windy afternoons, etc.? And I’m guessing 14 units per 3 zones.

Maybe the full report isn’t available, just curious.


I have been told as far or similar to human hearing. 1/2-3/4 mile on a good morning? Hard to tell and it undoubtedly varies but the units are consistent day to day. They are trying to get even amounts on public and private land in similar "zones". Work in progress.

You, as well as many others, have "special" birds that don't conform to the years of research and thousands of radio-tagged turkeys. wink Ask PCP about the dam turkey!
