How many people have heard the following quote

I think the overall percent of kills per year has decreased or has flatten our overall throughout the states , some state's will have a better percents than other depending on habitat, hatch and terrain. As one person said on another post , the non-serious turkey hunting may hunt opening weekend , then as the birds become harder to hunt , these people drop off and then what's left is the true turkey hunts the rest of the season.. I would also say that most all states, turkey hunting was at it's best probably back 5 years ago or better .. years back less weekend hunters per the available turkeys , and more serious turkey hunters.  Like some will say is it a trend or just a fad ... It's all interesting anyway ...

1 in 10 hunters kill all the turkeys over and over again. Have a hard time believing that.

In PA hunting private land had over 50% success rate. In FL hunting public land haven't shot a turkey.

Florida public is seriously tough.

With my new strategy of using military camo netting to completely drape over my electric golf cart, with a full strut dsd mounted on the hood, I fully intend to become one of the 10 percent. Those field gobblers don't stand a chance.

I never talk to another turkey hunter in the season and have never filled out a survey, So?

I understand the concept but seems a bit high.

I'm pretty new to turkey hunting but the "best" deer hunters I know simply have more time to go. My one buddy who filled his buck tags in 2 states last year worked 3rd shift. He could hunt any morning he wanted to. He was just in the woods more and had more opportunity. I think time to hunt is what helps certain guys kill more birds/deer.

Have heard the percentage thing but was "20% of hunters take 80% of the game". Can apply that to whatever your game is i.e. Turkey/Deer/Ducks/Fishing and what not. I would think if you are serious about what you do you put your time into it, you learn the game your after and your skill level goes up.

I prefer "roosted ain't roasted!!!"

"10 percent of all Spring Gobbler Hunters kill 90 percent of the Spring Gobblers". I'm interested in your thoughts...

1st time and only time I heard it was Roger Raglin said it back in the early 90's I was watching one of his hunting VHS's

I've heard of it but do not believe it.

I appreciate your responses and agree that new technology is definitely increasing the odds for those who wish to go down that road.

Another aspect is the availability of private land vs. National Forest.

I also believe that the Passion of the Spring Hunt drives some people to become better and that has a direct influence on their success.

Lastly, does anybody know where can I find one of those ROBO turkey decoys with a remote controlled 10 gauge strapped to its back...

I think Gobblenut is a distributor, if he's out you could try LaLongbeard.

I tend to agree with the thought, but I'd say the overall percentage is exaggerated.  I'm in the oil/gas industry and meet tons of people on new jobs.  Many of these guys find out I hunt and as we become better aquatinted, it seems that many of these "hunters" are mainly "goers".  They go 3-4 times a year on an old family place that may, or may not, have a bird.  My number would likely be something closer to 10% of Turkey hunters kill 50-75% of spring govblers

Yup.  They're flyin' off the shelf like hotcakes.  ...Mostly to Alabama and Georgia boys.

The actual saying is "90% of ALL game (not just gobblers) is killed by 10% of hunters."

I doubt it's that skewed but I feel that it's not far from it. Maybe something like 70% by 20% or something similar.
