CNC, somewhat related to feeding, and another contributor to excessive harvest in some places, is the fact that a LOT of turkeys are being killed with their wings dragging wheat or milo seeds. It blows my mind how many ground blinds I’ve seen lately with a seed pile within 20 yards and a cell camera. It don’t matter if the dominant gobbler theory is fact or fiction, if 50% of small landowners are hunting turkeys this way. A lot of the blame, IMO, lies with the precedent set by the agency by permitting bait for deer with a permit. “People aren’t differentiating the difference. It’s ok for deer, so it must be ok to do this too, even though they haven’t technically made it legal” mentality. Some of you who aren’t accustomed to land ownership patterns in north AL may not be able to see how this is so critical, but it’s not sustainable. I bet half the turkeys killed up here so far have been on bait.
