Just stop the facade. You don't actually care about the turkeys.  You care about having to share the woods with other people.  You're as transparent as glass.

If you actually cared about turkeys you'd be advocating for things like predator control which study after study after study shows has a significant impact on turkeys.  You would be shouting that from the rooftops instead of ranting about having to share the woods.

And don't pretend you do both. That would be about as hilarious as your hypocrisy on social media and non-residents.

You conveniently left out your desire to suppress people's free speech and ability to move freely.  Sounds familiar to other groups in history....

So we let it burn because we don't want to disturb the commercial hunters exploiting our public resources for profit. What's been loss to this point is the tip of the iceberg. Bookmark this thread and lost opportunity thread - look again in 6-8 years.

Push Pin Turkey Calls / Re: Shannon push-pin on eBay r...

Let me tell you about spurs2bgobblin

He helped me get connected with the right people when I got started buying custom turkey calls. I met him on this forum and to say he is a good guy is an understatement.

I recently won a box call on eBay. I got a text from him and he said " you should have told me you wanted that call" and he cancelled the eBay transaction and sold me the call at his cost with shipping and threw in a Glenda Green holster.

I don't have a dog in the fight. I did not sell him the pushpin he sold on eBay, I just want everyone to know he is as good as they get.

I would not sell my pushpin for $3,700. They are straight killers.

So my question is why did I see more gobblers running together and hens out in the field and the gobblers didn't even pay any attention to each other? Also the hens really didn't pay any attention to the gobblers in like years past. I have seen Jakes do more interaction with gobblers as the gobblers were following them around this past season.

I had a group of 3 - two year old gobblers still running together this past spring.  No hens in the picture at all ...

I really don't have any answers.  Happy

But I will say I did see more gobblers / Jakes this year .. No problem with the numbers in my area, just not much breeding activity at all... JUST WEIRD ...

I had a member on the forum tell me before his opening morning season, he was hearing 10 different gobblers in his hunting area, after opening day and he did managed to kill one, and the next days following he didn't hear a gobbler and he hunted for several more days.

Maybe you got a bunch of strong, independent hens that don't need no gobbler Greg. Or maybe they have horrible personalities, and the gobblers would just rather batch it and hang out.I get what you saying. I think this year has been "weird" for a lot of folks. My observations are more about the long breeding season i have been noticing for the last few years.

Is this REALLY a long breeding season?  Hear me out.  The females are the drivers of most of the wildlife species.  They are the dictators of what happens IMO.  The hens, in this case, are the ones that go to the gobblers when they are ready to be breed.  The gobblers are there for pomp and circumstance (Show and Go).  The hen will only SQUAT when she is ready to have her eggs fertilized.  The gobblers only surround themselves with as many hens as they can and are DRAGGED all over the fields and woods by the hens not the other way around.  They only follow what is available to them and will only search when they are completely alone.  IMO the gobblers, want and have company to try and breed as many hens as possible but how many of us have ACTUALLY seen hens being bred.  I have read that most of the time, breeding takes place very discreetly.  Personally, I have only seen the deed done 1 time and that was this season.  The hen squatted, the gobbler mounted her and she immediately launched out from under him before he could even finish.  GREAT DISCUSSION GUYS!

Definitely liberties being taken away. Just in the form of quotas, draws, regulation.
