I spent many a weekend through the '80's, 90's, and 2000's with fellow turkey hunters and representatives from our state and federal wildlife and public lands agencies installing water catchments all over southern New Mexico on our public lands in areas where reliable water sources are scarce.  Around here, water availability is probably the single most important factor in whether turkeys will be able to survive/live in an area.

Vigilante Biologist in what my friend Sam calls it.  Trap and shoot anything that eats an egg or poult, and burn.  It takes less money than a lot of people spend on NWTF banquets and is more effective.
