I also hunt turkeys in WI in zone 17and about 4 years ago we could see 50 turkeys atonceon just a smallfarm. Even driving around there would be turkeysin tons of fields. Then a few years ago they just seemed to disappear from that area. Gobbles were few and far between and turkeys were hard to come by. It wasn't just one spot it was all over the area. This year we got one tom and there seemed to be an increase in numbers. I'm hoping there isn't a bad hatch this year because it seems like there have been a lot of areas with bad storms and a lot ofhail. By the way do coons have an effect on the nesting results?
