Wow . I just started turkey huntin' serious about 8 years ago , I've averaged about 3 a season. I 've been deer hunting nearly 50 years and I've killed a bunch of full grown uns, but I ain't even close to averaging 3 mature studs a year.

I just don’t have places that consistently hold turkeys. I’ve killed 5 in 2012 and 2018. Most years I kill 2-3. I’ve killed 3 bucks nearly every year or at least have the opportunity. I don’t always choose to pull the trigger. Killing mature bucks has never been a problem to me.
