Not sure on overall numbers but the areas I hunt are virtually quiet. This is the most atrocious turkey season I've ever experienced. I literally can't find a bird to play with and am hunting less and less with each passing week. It's just not worth the effort to get up at 3 am, drive 1.5 hours, hike 6-8 miles and hear zero. Really thankful for all the seasons where I could find a bird almost any day. This one is a disgusting example of mismanagement of our resource

the birds have been unusually quiet here in middle TN as well and I know we still have a lot of birds. I've heard some decent roost gobbling some days, but for the amount of time I've hunted I should have tagged out weeks ago. I'm sitting around fresh scratch right now and I haven't heard a gobble and I've been in the woods for the past 3 hours covering ground and calling. This has been the pretty typical day for this season. The first half of last season was the same way for me.

Looking at the data till 04/30/19 and since 2006 for Upper ETN, we are going to finish the year with -807 birds less compared to 2017. 1,420 less compared to 2016!! Bottom chart shows we've been pretty stable. put 2019 into it, it shows a downward trend then.

This. Just sickening.
 
Shooter, where did you get your numbers for this year? I put in March 23 to today and I get. Cocke- 169, Carter 169, Greene 727, Hamblen 123, Hancock 136, Hawkins 462, Johnson 205, Sullivan 342, Unicoi 73, and Washington 333 for a current total of 2,882. Looks like you are on course for a great year! Current total harvest for the state is at 27, 734. Maybe I misunderstood your chart but this is what I get for 2019.

I assume he got his numbers from the hunters tool box and if so they are incorrect. I still can't get it to work on my phone, it shows 15,820 for the year.

Yes , you have to hit include WMA. I don't know why you have to do that but I believe it to be correct because if you look at Hunter success it shows how many people have killed and how many they have killed and it's over 27,000.

It doesn't give me the option from my phone. I am looking at it on their website, can't figure out how to access it from the app.

From the TWRA website (non mobile) using turkey harvest by county/wma tab, then put in region IV turkey harvest dates. I hope I'm wrong with my numbers! I used the dates of March 1 to the current date for all years based on the change of the start date and used June 1 for end date for season totals of the years before.

I went in and did it by harvest ranking per county, go the same numbers as the above method. What method are you using?

I know 14 guys that are retired or jobs allow them to hunt 5-7 days a week. most have killed 1-2 birds and only 1 guy i know has gotten 3 birds. Everyone of them are tagged out by end of April and helping others fill tags. 4 of them told me this weekend they are done for the year, been 1-2 weeks since they heard or seen a bird. One guy has 17 places to hunt scattered between Sullivan, Washington & Hawkins co. Said he's heard 4 birds between those farms.

Here is what I get today (5/1) showing just a slight increase since yesterday on those counties, none of these match your numbers.

Andy where did you get this total from? Using the website, i got the following for 2019.

WMA - 1,180
R 1 - 3,945
R 2 - 5,448
R 3 - 3,210
R 4 - 3,323
Total - 17,106
 
Shooter , you have to hit include WMA. There is a glitch in the system. You can look at Hunter success and tell that the numbers are correct as both are over 27,000. I am sure some areas are down. I heard 5 last Saturday with my son and went to another spot before church Sunday and heard 4 and killed one. I am not as far east as you but am not in one of the prime areas. It's strange you talk to some and they are hearing and seeing several , others not so much. I may be wrong but I truly believe my numbers are correct or I wouldn't dare post it. If mine are wrong then I apologize for anything misleading.

Not doubting you, some reason I can't get it to work to well it seems. Here is what I got by using Statewide Biological Data Report Harvests Between 3/1/2019 and 5/1/2019. I can't see it possible that 12K birds were killed on WMA.

There has not been 12,000 birds killed on WMA. It's a glitch. Go to statewide Hunter success and include WMA. It shows how many people have killed turkeys and how many they have killed . Over 18, 000 people have killed turkeys. How could only 15,000 total be killed?
