I am no college-educated wildlife biologist like Chuck is but I do know what i have witnessed at our hunting club in Sumter County. 20 years ago we had a lot more mixed Timber than we do now and I have an old journal where we recorded hunt observations. If you didn't hear 10 or 12 a day they just weren't Gobbling very good. Now I would doubt there's 10 or 12 gobblers on the whole property. So much young cut over that the birds are relegated to the smzs along the creeks and that property cant support the number of birds it did when it was mixed timber.
