Plenty More Spring Turkey Hunters Afield.

[quavers16]

In Spring of 2020,I saw so many more Spring Turkey out + about trying their Luck in the Spring Woods because of the Chinese Virus.
I am wondering if this upcoming Spring of 2021 will be as crowded.Chinese virus is still bad.
Alot of Tom's takin last Spring and alot of happy Turkey Hunters.
We will see come Spring of 2021. Can't Wait!!!

We had a reported harvest in AL last year that was up over 50% from 2019. It sure doesn't appear to me that it had negative effect on reproduction. In fact, I believe it was the best hatch of my life, and I'm pretty old. I have places to hunt in 3 different places scattered over the state and they all have big flocks of young turkeys. Lots of other folks are seeing the same thing.

I don't really have an explanation for why we had such a great hatch, but I like it. I do suspect that the big packs of jakes we are gonna have this spring could make hunting tough at times, but I can live with that problem.

Yup, social media and YouTube are having a huge impact as well. This spring will be as busy, if not busier, than last spring. If things don't settle down in a few years, look for reduced opportunities for turkey hunting in some states through means of quota only hunts, season restrictions, possibly lower bag limits or even non-resident specific restrictions.
