Predators , predators and more predators is the biggest problem IMO. I agree that predators, and the heavily intertwined and co-dependent habitat landscape, is the biggest factor that mankind can influence. I will always believe that the wrong weather during the most fragile/infant days for poults is the biggest factor there is. That one factor alone is the only one that has the potential to produce a large-scale wipeout of a year's worth of poults in one fell swoop. We have had coons, crows, snakes, possums, foxes, bobcats, and anything else we can think of for as long as we have had turkeys and I will always believe the Lord created the wild turkey with enough survival skills adaptation for hens to do what it takes to overcome those factors as a whole and at least keep a population steady over time, but there is nothing at all that can be done to change the weather when it counts. More good points Juggy, every one talks about the weather but nobody ever does anything. The wrong weather at the wrong time is a baby turkey killer for sure. However, Red tail hawks and even eagles have made a strong come back. There's no $ in trapping , nobody does it for $ like the old days. To a man turkey managers sing the praises of trapping in increasing the population . Several on here have told me it's amazing the positive impact that a serious trapping program can have.
