I’m not gonna say litter hasn’t killed a few turkey. But after what I’ve seen this year and especially the past few weeks, predators are number 1. Hunters being at the top of that list. I’ve seen more out of state tags on pieces of public land than I’ve seen locals in the past ten years. And hunters aren’t stopping at their legal limit. Starting season early. I’ve heard of several people killing well past their limit already and mostly over bait… social media has sky rocketed the number of hunters and kills imo the last few years. A lot more needs to be addressed before the litter.
This is dead on! There's ton after ton of litter spread in south Alabama. I can name 3 pieces of land that gets spread 3 times a year and both are loaded with birds. All 3 also get trapped hard!
