Didn't get one in ID I see but I'm curious on your opinion of the state it's on me and @Brad_Colvin very high want to do list but it's a haul out there 0lus having drive by several states that are on upswing in birds right now keeps me stopping short. And definitely spot on they can regulation change these places to death but I'll still be there can't stand not to. Hopefully you'll start some new good streaks this spring.
Methinks shooting them out of deer stands is easy regardless of how long Iit takes for one to wander by.
I don't think most are in denial I'd venture say anyone who hunts regularly last 30-40 years would totally agree on Increased pressure not sure on percentage but I wouldn't hesitate guess up by over 50% in my limited experience anyhow. Same with methods but that ain't changing unless states make the Reg changes and several have made minor but their hands are gonna be tied on some things like blinds they ain't ever going away. But at same time just be fair there are numerous states that this isn't at moment panning out as they are simply on fire several after being left for dead in magazines. Only time will tell where they head. Also their are few states that have declining turkey license sales might be more if everyone would keep up with it like should and couple those broke records with less sales so that is a definite sign that production is surpassing methods and pressure. And I'm well aware there are other states on other end the spectrum. Best advice go where it's hot and don't where it's not.
Best advice that I know of is quit worrying about possums and the hatch and the habitat
All I said ain't happening was the blinds you disagree with that? Other stuff is on table to an extent as I said some states have already restricted some methods. Not sure why states that are struggling can't do all you said habitat improving, predator control and most important always worry about hatch that's 1 thing I'm biggest proponent of it will always control population hell o worry about and keep up with hatches in states I'll not step foot in for years
on hatch note missouri realesed Sumner survey just absolutely sucked that fears came true the floods seemed to negate the cicadas effect at least somewhat damn shame they had so much potential co.ing off 22 good and 23 great hatch. Northeast part state faired best if I'm not mistaken missed the flooding this summer. M8ther nature controlling again I swear they were poised for a 55,000ish give otlr take harvest in 26.
they occasionally come to my sorry calling so I must agree with this whole heartedly pure suckers
you can continue to believe the Buffalo lie if you want to. More people likely had a direct impact, and hunting was not nothing, but the math and records say that it was not the reason for the decline. Lots of good information in the article below. Not the only research I have seen but worth a read.

I’ll go back to try again. Next time will can more or less hit the ground running so it should be better for us.
Think it'll be one them trips as much for adventure in New place as anything. I'm looking at 27 to go depending on winter conditions prior as far as kill. already got 25 and 26 took up. Folks I've talked to keep hear 1 thing frequently lots birds on private and very spread out on public so figure pretty much the normal for most anywhere.
