Southeastern subspecies, specifically. But mainly because those seem to face the highest pressure.
I know the theory about gobbling being evolved out of turkeys based on harvest rates has floated around (and makes sense to me) but what is everyone else seeing?
I feel like 20 years ago, a turkey would be more vocal and more willing to come to a call. Now, it’s like 1 out of 10 at best. AND when they come in, it’s like a deer slipping in cover and sneaking around. Definitely get a suicidal one now and again, but I swear this is not the turkey I remember from the 90’s and early 2000’s.
Don’t even get me started on the amount of people you have to contend with now. Thanks THP and the pinhead guy that pets dead turkeys.
