Crap, i have shot twice since last season. I am recovering from two broke fingers so it has been a bit slow. Season opens in two weeks, so I need to get out and double time it.

They will wipe out your turkey. I use to have tuns of turkey on my land, and once the hogs showed up, all the turkey are gone. Ive seen one turkey on my land in the last 15 years. The quail are doing great. Not sure why that is, they are ground nesters like the turkey. So I would assume their eggs are getting hit as well. But I have seen no affect on the quail. But then again, I have not hunted the quail on my land in over 10 years. I just cant bring myself to shoot a bunch of quail and only recover one or two. My CRP is to thick, its almost imposible to find the birds after you shoot them, that is without dogs.

Dang...not what I wanted to hear. I'm not a turkey hunter, but have thought about it. We have a pretty good population of them here--they seem to thrive in the same areas that the hogs will hang out in.

We do have some hill country around here also--maybe the birds will figure it out and move there, for nesting sites anyway.

That could be more related to my land than a norm. I can only speak about what happens around here. But I have noticed, that places in Texas that have a large hog population, tend to have less turkey.
