Seems like late '80's early '90's were the hottest turkey hunting for us along the Niangua River in Dallas county. There were 4 in our hunting party and every year everybody would kill at least 1 bird and my dad was on a roll killing his 2 birds for 5 or 6 years straight. Turkey hunting started getting popular about that time and now fewer birds in that area with even fewer wanting to gobble much.
