Meanwhile, sections of Georgia where habitat has been changed significantly over the last 20 years, turkey numbers are much better.

Changed how?

How did the other area not change? Meaning no logging?

What I mean is that you can go get a publically available GIS aerial image of Rabun County from 30 years ago and compare it to one today, and you wouldn't be able to tell one from the other. But the turkey numbers, according to the turkey tag reporting posted by DNR, is way way down for that county over the years.

I'm not saying habitat isn't a factor, it clearly is, but it isn't the only factor. There are places where the habitat has been stable for decades and the turkey population still is down.
