Turkeys are definitely rising in population throughout the state.
No joke there.
The wife and I was talking about it as we roasted hot dogs and sausages at backyard fire last nite.
We kept hear a few turkey gobbles right before dark.
Think about it though.
They roost at dark ,right when most predators are getting ready for a night of eating ,them turkey are high up in a tree.
They have a whole nest a every spring.
A few die off through out the summer,always more than a few survivors.
Just behavior,how they winter down low,safe in the tree at night.
Them turkeys just have it all down ,when it comes to survival.
