Something else I found interesting about that bobcat study is that turkeys weren’t even mentioned as being found at all in their scat. I don’t know if turkeys were much less prevalent back then or what…… I don’t think coyotes have been found to be a big threat. Something has to be killing adult turkeys though and if it isnt bobcats then it would really narrow it down to great horned owls and maybe eagles in some situations….. If that’s true then I’d be turning loose every bobcat I caught. They would simply be reducing the prey population for the other predators that do impact turkeys. Foxes may also fall right in line with this same idea although I bet they’re a little more prone to nest raiding.
