Habitat is always key
While planting today I thought about this thread and all the critters I’ve seen at the farm the past 15-20 yrs I’ve hunted it. Plenty of coons and hawks along with a pair of bald eagles and immatures. Yesterday I saw a hen with poults that could barely fly. She had them out in the wide open. We’d burned it down a few weeks ago so there wasn’t anything out there worth eating I thought. 20 hrs ago Thai place was absolutely loaded with birds. Turkeys are making a comeback around here the past few years but I’m wondering why they kinda disappeared.
I just think it was perfect storm coming together caused by a variety and cumulative of happenings.
I’m betting it is a myriad of things mentioned.
The one thing I can’t understand. Why do hunters get a pass as a predator?
Because we don't shoot hens. Shooting gobblers has near to zero effect on turkey populations in every area I've hunted in Alabama.
