I realize habit loss is a major problem. Clear cutting has had a huge impact on populations, but my property and the land I lease is all wooded. Most of the neigboring properties are mostly wooded, so there is more to it than just preditors and loss of habitat. I saw six hens and two longbeards on my property while deer hunting this season, so hopefully at least one of the hens will have a successful hatch, but I haven't seen a hen with poults in about three years. Hopefully it will get better. Good luck in Ark. this season.
