Looks like LBL has really dropped the ball on upcoming season. 2 -3 day adult quota hunts ( one prior to state opener) and 6 day open season.
Last year they had 2-2 day adult quota hunts and a 3 week open season.
 
^^^This^^^

LBL needs to 💩can the whole turkey hunt for a few years and hope the turkeys can rebound. IMO
Need to start letting hunters go up there and lay some scunion down on the hog population. I wonder how much damage those things have done to the population.

LBL is such a heart breaker. I have vivid memories of camping with my wife and new born daughter (10 years ago). I'd get up and hunt a couple hours before they got out of the tent. I honestly cannot remember a hunt where I didn't at least hear one gobble.
Fast forward to last year and I put in countless miles and never once cut a track, let alone hear one.
 
I have not seen a turkey in 4 years on our annual weeklong archery hunt in early Nov. I did hear a few hens last fall one morning. I think the hogs are really hurting the population, they will eat anything. The number of hog sightings is thru the roof!
 
Is it a coyote issue? A hog issue? Or both?
Hogs, habitat loss, and minimal farming would be my guess. The hogs are running rampant down there, cannot even hike a trail without seeing sign or an actual hog and the tornados and big storms we have had the last 4-5 years have hurt the hardwoods. I remember 20-30 years ago that place used to be pristine with farming and agriculture, something has shifted and a lot of the fields are overgrown and have become nothing more than briar thickets. Brooding ground is not what it used to be. Birds are still there but they are nothing like it once was for sure
 
The direct result of textbook environmentalists running a federally funded property while not having any common sense, real world application experience or consideration that they may be completely WRONG!

Hog presence and damage is secondary to the damage done by those in charge at the forestry service. Zero Forrest management ! Lots of people fear a wildfire there.
Controlled burns have been needed for many years
 
They burned a significant amount last year. Smoke was seen down in AL.
Hopefully that did some good but I can tell ya turkeys didn't move in….

This - screw LBL and their mismanagement. I wrote them off around 15 years ago
 
This is my theory:

20 years ago, most of the gobblers there went gay. You would hen call to a gobbling bird, and they would run the other way…the few that would come to a hen call were killed as two year olds or Jake's…the others died of old age since without passing their seed along. Just a few years later they were all gone.

Just my theory based on my experiences. 😜

Honestly, 20 years ago is when the whole world started turning gay. Luke Bryan infiltrated Nashville turning country music and turkeys gay.
Science has officially named it "The Luke Bryan effect"

noun: Luke Bryan Effect
  1. the branch of science that deals with simple minded systems whose gay behavior is highly sensitive to changes in conditions, so that small alterations can give rise to great consequences. Often times the first global symptoms are when eastern wild turkeys stop gobbling then eventually disappear. Commonly referenced as the harbinger in the murder of music row and paving way for transgender bans, like Florida/Georgia Line, to infiltrate young and gullible minds.

Just like that "Struttin" video you put on here? :oops:
