there has been zero habitat change, well maybe not zero but very very little.


An “untouched” habitat maturing for 20+ years is change.

Sounds like we need to reintroduce wolves.

you have a problem with predator control? That seems rather counter intuitive in helping the turkey population.

I've hunted pretty much everything in our swamps, marshes and woods for decades. I'm relatively new to turkey hunting, but I'm now obsessed with it and losing interest in all that other stuff. My opportunities are limited as I'm not in a deer lease. What's the best way to go about finding a lease or property to hunt? I'm in the SELA area, but don't mind driving a few hours.

As far as turkeys and lease, Utica, Crystal Springs, Copiah county are good areas. Openings are rare though.
East of you, i do not know. Alabama, etc.
