This list is spot on. To bad you can't get but one a day. Most mornings you could get a limit in Jackson County before Jack's stopped serving breakfast.

That’s fall season is a hold over from when there were turkeys there. Not any more. They gone.

It's a good strategy for a starting point in a new state or for a new hunter. Regs vary within a state based on management goals. When I'm looking for just numbers/opportunities, I just look for the areas with the least restrictions (e.g., season length, harvest limits, antler point, etc.) and start there. It is, however, obviously just a starting point.

I know there was a pretty good hatch around my neck of the woods...I expect the 2020 spring to be a good one.. Won't take much for the 2019 to be an improvement over 2018.

Gobblebox killed the last turkey seen in Monroe county 3 years ago. Honestly, turkey populations here are a small fraction of what they were even 10 years ago.

We had decent turkey numbers until 4yrs ago. Last spring I heard one turkey gobble on our place. We did not see a turkey this deer season. We used to see turkeys all the time during the deer season. Not sure what happened but whatever it is, it's pretty dang serious.

That bunch from Auburn has been up here for 5 years trying to figure out what happened to the birds on Skyline. That’s no joke.

That bunch from AU is wasting time. Might need to check a few locals out before they waste much more time.

They must be trying to figure out what makes Jackson County the turkey mecca of AL. That's what happens when you're #1 in the state 3 consecutive years.

Mold on all the corn is killing the turkey....no joke. Look it up, it is a serious problem in Alabama. Less turkeys now than 20 years ago for sure.

How does it keep from wiping them out in other states where people put out corn?

And no Montgomery on the list,... which means less than 130. Hell we usually have 15-20 or so at our turkey rodeo with just a few buddies every year, and that's just one day.

where can the rest of that list be found?

When I did the screenshot that's as far as my phone would let me scroll. You can retrieve the data here now though https://game.dcnr.alabama.gov/Report/Compare/Turkey. Montgomery came in with 120 birds last year.

No one around us has upped their harvest half of them dont even hunt anymore because you never hear more than 1 turkey. No clue what happened but the Turkeys are gone comparatively speaking.

Ben, I’m sorry to hear that. What county are you hunting in if you don’t mind me asking?
