RE: how many turkeys
Taken around 10 gobblers in the last 20 years. My area of the state only has a spring season. Eight years, in the 90s, I didn't get any hunting time due to Naval service in the Gulf and elsewhere. Best year was 1985. Turkeys were relatively new to my area as they were only stocked about six years before. Of only 34 gobblers taken in my county that year 2 were mine. Pretty cool having 6% of the county success rate by myself and had my picture in the local paper.
