is it just me

I was wondering if i was the only one that was seeing less turkeys this year than normally,the bioligist said there was supposed to be more but around here in the fall you see only a few young ones with each hen and i think it is catching up with us thats why i think we didnt see as many birds this year as we normally do:(
I was wondering how many other people have been seeing the same thing.

i saw tons this year!! we took 6 good toms off our property this spring and could have taken several more but passed on them! i counted over 250 in one field last fall! they were there every day for 10 or 11 days straight and i go to set up with my buddy to take a couple with our bows last fall and we see a coyote in the field where they usually feed and didnt see them again all fall!! counted 89 in a field this spring a week or two before the cold snap hit had 11 longbeards in the group that had my heart pounding watching them!! I think we have a few two many acorns dont last too long around here the deer dont get to many anymore!!

I think I saw a slight increase before season, but it was scarce during season. However, I don't think that we have less birds, just more weary three year old birds.

I saw mostly male turkeys the whole season. The only hens I saw I busted off their nests. Every nest was full (12-16 eggs) by April 15th, at least where I was. I probably saw fewer turkeys, but I didn't care because they were mostly males.

I didn't notice any decrease. The farm i hunted hard this year only gets about two visits from me every year, but say at least 10 turkeys every time i went, which is a lot more than i am use to on this farm.

I saw several large flocks in the fall but this spring I saw and heard very little.
Never could get one to commit. KY, was two weeks late and the weather didn't help either.

I seen several more mature birds this year than years past. Most of the hunters I have talked too had a sub-par year though.

I saw several hens and toms and If i had just had a little luck to go along with it I would have tag out. I do believe they were not that many 2 year olds this year so that is way we had the season that we did plus thw weather did not help either.

With a season with low totals like this year, it only means next year will probably be a record setting year.
