That's weird. I was talking to a guy I know in Hickman last week that also found a dead one on his property with no signs of anything wrong. He also watched 2 buzzards fall from the sky and lay dead. Riddle me that
Got me worried for sure. Especially since there are less gobblers around this year than last year but that was expected since there was no jakes last season. This year seeing some Jakes but God forbid some disease hitting them... Again...

It's amazing at the overwhelming amount of proof supporting the fact that season dates don't affect turkey numbers that people still side on the dominant gobbler theory side. Look at Mississippi for not delaying and the improvement across multiple properties despite heavy hunting early. Look at all the studies pointing and showing no significant linkage to season timing in regards to populations. It's obvious enough that it's likely the same people that don't believe there is money laundering and fraud going on with the government that share the same beliefs

I saw about a dozen on our property Saturday, but couldn't tell what they were. Usually we have quite a few right now. I'm going to get my cell cams out in a few weeks, so I'll find out then.
do you have chicken houses in giles co???? id bet you do
Yeah, it sounds like you live on the left side of the fence if you are believing the government "studies" concerning the issue. Just remember, those were the same dumbazzes that told us for years that the population was fine and not declining.It's amazing at the overwhelming amount of proof supporting the fact that season dates don't affect turkey numbers that people still side on the dominant gobbler theory side.
