Once the winter flocks come together and hen's and gobblers pair up and go in different directions, you will usually have less turkeys in one area, compared to what you were seeing in the winter flocks. Turkeys have an instinct to survive until all are depleted or they are fortunate to have a good survival in a particular area. 
Some years turkeys are not as vocal as other years.

A good habitat / food source plays a part also... 

IMO ...

Yes, crows / ravens all eat turkey eggs

Back in my early years a bunch of us guys in the fall after deer season would ride around the country roads and call crows with a homemade speaker fixed to a cheap cassette play using crow sound tapes and would have a blast shooting them.. What we did for entertainment back then ... LOL...

12v cooler is the way to go. I've got one for freezing meat and a smaller one for grocery's   I ran them for 4 days without moving my truck and had no issue cranking it.  Could always get a solar charger for your battery if you're sitting in one spot for a long time.   

Dry ice works great too or just using ice for a week.

Done both but after using the 12v cooler it's way better. No ice, no watered down food,  no mess.

Rollercoaster ride of emotions on that one.  Was so relieved when I got that message that he was in your hands and good.

There is an absolute link to crows and turkeys.  I paid extra attention to it this year and 9/10 times I had a bird gobbling crows would show up.  If I had hens walking around cameras crows would be on camera within a minute typically.  I think they know gobbling toms mean hens and hens lead them to nest.

I'm from WNY and had a good season filling both my tags by the first week of the season. However, the birds here reacted strangely. Where normally you would hear birds gobble from roosting like clockwork, silence... I'm not the only one with this observation. Many hunting buds report the same observation—another observation: Birds sighted on trail cams right up to the season start, disappearing completely. I also traveled to upper Michigan and harvested a nice bird there, but had a hard time finding them. But my buds there also had the same issues with birds disappearing. They said during the fall deer season, they saw flocks of good populations, more than they ever saw in the past. They said the hatch was great and winter was very light so the Spring hunt would be ideally great. But their birds also disappeared. Where normally you would see local flocks in town feeding in backyard feeders, gone! One of the best turkey guides in Michigan there lived 5 minutes from our camp and we stopped to "pick" his mind, he was complex himself. No one had an answer...What say you?

I read something about them getting 1.7 eggs per crow.  Now that is not coon numbers but it's significant considering how many crows.

For what it's worth I've witnessed them and ravens eating turkey eggs.
