I have to agree with MattBrock on the issue of making a difference by killing a couple of cats. The best book ever written on wild turkeys in my opinion was written by James Dickson. He suggests that even though predators are the biggest threat to poults, eradication of the predators is dang near impossible in order to improve turkey populations. I still say kill every predator you see, one thats dead wont eat a turkey! I caught 13 bobcats and 9 coyotes on my property last year and yet the turkey hatch was a complete failure this year due to habitat destruction by developers. No matter how many predators you catch or kill, others will establish in that territory within weeks.
