Turkey harvest was way down!!!

[CdBurner]

Wonder if coyote population has any impact on the turkey numbers? ODNR is blaming it on the acorn crop this year. Whatever the reason is, I'm stunned that there were only 1336 birds taken over a 7week season in the whole state. Last year there were almost 2200 harvested in the fall. That's a huge decline.

Were the same amount of tags sold? Could be the economy and people not buying a tag just for the off chance they have a bird walk under their stand.

funny story. A. Couple years ago a buddy shot a spring turk in vinton county. When he went to check it in he told them he has a turk to check. They kind of looked at him crazy and said "a what". Hahah. Guess not many make it to the check station in vinton county.

I usually have no problem getting one in the fall on my place. I shot mine this year at 830am over one of my food plots and when I walked out to pick her up and I heard my dad shoot about 1/2-3/4 mile away on the other end of the property. He took a hen as well.

Don't ask me where they go to in the spring. It's like they vanish.
