ORIGINAL: Germ

Here is the question

How many jakes are being shot?

I will ask DNR this week. I am interested to know
Germ, here the stats for MO 2007 turkey season. The estimated poplulation is 900,000 to 1,000,000.

Adult gobblers- 36587

juveniles gobblers- 11022

hens- 849


Adult gobblers make up over 70% of the harvest. Males equaling over 95%

MO has some of the best turkey hunting in the country. Facts like this make me question the whole deer have to be 1:1 or 1:2 to be healthy.
