Perry. Have had 2 properties about 10 miles a part and both of them went from large populations to extremely small populations. I am talking about seeing flocks of 30-60 birds at times and hearing 6-12 gobblers a morning to hearing 0-1 bird per morning, seeing 0 babies, seeing a few hens a year and rarely seeing any turkeys in the winter

Our place was like this when we got it. There were turkeys everywhere. We would see large groups of birds and as far as the first couple weeks of April, there would be turkeys gobbling everywhere. We wouldn't know which gobblers to try to set up on sometimes. The most gobblers killed on our 1k acres in a spring was 4. The last season we had decent numbers, we left 4 different gobblers gobbling because we had to pack up and leave. The next season which would have been the spring of 2017, we had 1 gobbler gobble on our place while we were hunting. Same last season. We just went and listened to him gobble in the morning. We had decided we weren't going to even bother him. I have a couple invites to hunt some property in Clark co. this spring. I just don't think we will have any turkeys again this spring. I hope I'm wrong.

It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chews your a$$ all day long.
