No real opinion on this, but I have to say that California has improved its numbers in the last 15 years big time, where now in some counties they are calling the turkey "natural nuisances". I find the numbers in the canyons where my ranch and my families other ranches are greatly increasing, since I and others been keeping the yote population in somewhat a check. An that too. California as well as other states have seen an explosion in predator numbers. I have to say though, those turkeys out here are well fed from my food plots, as well as the neighboring oat and clover fields.
