[QUOTE="retrieverman, post: 4228628, member: 24452"] I look at it this way. I know of 11 people that will probably be turkey hunting around my place on approximately 3200 acres, and this doesn’t take into account the land used by a guide service since I have no idea what they’ll be doing. So far this year, I’ve seen 7 toms and about 30 hens on cameras, and unless the properties around mine have turkey populations I don’t know about (which I sincerely hope they do), the numbers don’t really add up.:scratch: I’ll be honest and say I actually know very little about the breeding habits of wild turkeys. Will that long tom from a mile or two away migrate over looking for hens to breed like bucks do during the rut?:anyone: [/QUOTE]
