You’re correct….“Normal” fluctuations are driven by differences in rainfall ……In a perfect situation that would really be the main factor of influence. We inject man-made variables into the equation though that cause those fluctuations to deviate from those normal patterns....What we are experiencing during the current time period is due to our own actions and not just normal fluctuations…..Yeah, things will likely stabilize back out in those normal patterns in another few years but it will also do it at a lower baseline level population of turkeys Rainfall, droughts, disease, hurricanes, ecological changes (timber management, clearcutting, less or more controlled burning, less or more farming) all factor into "normal fluctuations". Not just rainfall. I lumped timber harvest and fire into the normal column because they have happened regularly in AL for the last 150 or so years. I'd venture to say that there has been more timber cut in AL in the past 25 yrs than at any point in Bama's history. As those trees grow back into maturity, and the habitat becomes suitable for turkeys again, the population will expand again. I think you're way off the reservation on this one. You've bought into the it's a man-made problem, just like the global warming fanatics. Nature, historically, always has a way of adjusting and overcoming. We can revisit this in 5 yrs and see.
