Looks like there has been about twice as many reported as 2 years ago. Either aldeer is still growing or 2016 was a better year.
Edit: read it too early in the morning. Ignore the above.
It appears that aldeer posters take about 1% of the turkeys killed in AL.
You must be ready for the summary
My numbers could be checked and corrected, but this is what I got and I am sticking to it. There WAS some culling.
results were:
122 turkey hunters killed 293 birds in Alabama and saw an additional 118 die in Alabama
These 122 people generated 29 limits for 24% of the hunters killing a limit
However, only 108 people actually killed so that is 27% of the successful hunters killed a limit.
Total numbers is 2.4 birds per hunter and 2.7 birds killed per successful hunter.
An additional 1 bird per hunter were seen killed.
For comparison:
Last time results were:
74 turkey hunters killed 214 birds in Alabama and saw an additional 164 die in Alabama
These 74 people generated 17 limits for 22% of the hunters killing a limit
However, only 64 people actually killed so that is 27% of the successful hunters killed a limit.
Total numbers is 2.9 birds per hunter and 3.3 birds killed per successful hunter.
An additional 2.2 birds per hunter were seen killed.
If there are 40,000 turkeys killed in AL, PCP is correct, Aldeer hunters participated in 1% of the kill in the State!
