turkey population cycles
Where I own property in the WV mountains, it is almost 100% wooded. The turkey numbers hadbeen increasing in recent years, to the point wherein fall '04 we heard quite a few while deer hunting. In the spring of last year, I heard some gobblers. Then NOTHING. We haven'theard or seen asingle bird since last spring. Are there boon/bust cycles? I haven't heard of a sudden influx of predators, andI was hearing them after winter '05 so know that couldn't have hurt the flock.
