[QUOTE="El_Putzo, post: 215313, member: 1017"] Dun, My dad's place is about like that. It's about 15 minutes down the road. Not many turkey's around, which I can't figure out because there are plenty of woods and grain fields for food. Maybe to many predators, or egg eaters to sustain a population. Of course at my house which is on my father in law's land, he has about 200 acres of hills and woods and 100 of bottom next to the Big Tavern Creek, which is a tributary of the Osage river, there are turkey's everywhere. For about the last 3 weeks, it is pretty much impossible to drive up our private drive (1 mile long) at any time of the day, and not see a turkey. Back in the middle of March when they were all still flocked up, Melvin (FIL) saw 4 bunches of birds, each containing 15-30 birds. He figured around 80 or 90 total, all in the bottom at one time. That makes him nervous as he just planted his corn, and if a turkey finds a row, it will walk right down the row picking up a lot of kernels. :mad: I hope it doesn't sound like I'm bragging, but spring turkey season has to be my favorite hunting. With that being said, I'd gladly trade half of our turkeys for a small population of Elk. :lol: Fuel is getting too expensive to drive to Colorado. [/QUOTE]
