Why do predators harm the turkey populations more today than they did 10- 20 years ago. With the exception of the eagle no new predator has emerged, I would think more coons coyotes and possums are trapped and killed now more than ever. Was there a boom in predator numbers if so what caused it?
I know for one thing there are not many coon hunters like there used to be...also, I think the coyote population has definitely increased over the years...
