When the National Wild Turkey Federation was founded in 1973, there were about 1.3 million wild turkeys in North America. After decades of work, that number hit a historic high of almost 7 million turkeys. To succeed, the NWTF stood behind science-based conservation and hunters’ rights. The NWTF Save the Habitat. Save the Hunt. initiative is a charge that mobilizes science, fundraising and devoted volunteers to conserve and enhance more than 4 million acres of essential wildlife habitat, recruit at least 1.5 million hunters and open access to 500,000 acres for hunting.

To ensure the wild turkey remains a staple on our Northeastern landscapes, we must continue to address the bird’s annual cycle needs. The Northeastern region of our country has an incredible conservation story and hunting heritage legacy. Besides some remnant populations in parts of Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia, the wild turkey was completely wiped out from the rest of the...

Absolutely love this. Proud to be a member of NWTF
Good work folks. Proud that I am a member. So many battles to fight: declining habitat, improper management, lack of hunters, ect but we all need to take one step at a time. As habitat is enhanced for turkeys I think it will become enhanced for a curious non-hunter or a non-hunter that has had that curiosity building about hunting. An Oak savanna of the Midwest, a pine savana of the southeast or a beautiful well managed timber of the north east where turkeys are gobbling and ruffed grouse are drumming I would imagine that will be a draw to the curious and want to partake with the rest of us. God willing. Maybe we should hand out copies of Sandcounty Almancs like missionaries do Bibles?
pls someone tell me where this is (area of contry)
not a full story...wat happened to d Birds😮
چقدر این حوانان وحشی زیبا هستند طبیعت زنده میشود وقتی این حیوانات بتوانند در یک منطقه زندگی طبیعی خودشان را ادامه بدهند که با ارزش هست چون وجودش نعمت هست
این حکومت اخوندی فقط این آوای وحش ایران را زیاد آلوده نکرده باز شکر هست
Love this!!
Bird falls once he’s on my my pin

I m proud of the success, but it’s not possible without those businesses like , Sissy’s Log Cabin, Lazyman Deer Stands, Monsterbass, Arkansas printing company, Tacklebox, Seaark Boats, Spencer’s Marine, many many more.

Thank you Monsterbass for all your help with this! If your not doing business with Monsterbass your missing out.
I live in Arkansas and red tail hawks are very abundant. I had a hawk take down one of my decoys by the head before.
Hi I’m Zane I’m on my moms phone how many times have you won a turkey calling competition 😊
Yessir! And beautiful turkey 🦃
Black bears eat more turkey eggs then any other predator ten fold.
Lion: damn thought he was a liberal.
i thought this was going to be about nest destruction by predators. The raccoons and opossums would be number 1 by far. People talk about the bobcat and coyote population exploding but nobody talks about the raccoon population. 20 years ago you never seen a raccoon on garbage night here in PA. Now on garbage night i see enough to make 5 full length coats. if you have the right habitat, food and mild winters the population would be stable. With humans approaching everywhere that's hard to find
Mountain Lion be like, "understandable, have a nice day."
This is some good stuff thank you
Beautiful. You are blessed
Que belleza
In WY winters killed them, they would get going and a bad winter would decimate them.
My dog wants to be, he is pissed at the two hens that have turned his yard into their turkey highway, lol. My area is loaded with every kind of predator North America has and turkeys are absolutely thick here, I guess its abundant food because the predators sure are not making a dent in the population.
Scary. The gunshot didn’t even scare it. 😳
In Texas, fire ants.
Speak to him in Spanish.
They’ll make you lose your religion. 😊
Holly shit
Racoons at night also.
In Wisconsin its raccoon. Opossum. But fisher showed up with bobcats and a couple brutal winters and our bird population fell drastically. They coming back a little now but they need luck to get back to sustainable Numbers. Dnr could not care less. Scumbags.
In the live free or die state where I live, we have found that raccoons go in cycles. When their numbers are in the up cycles domestic chickens are attacked and eaten, and turkey eggs are eaten alot and drastically limit the number of turkey chick's that are born in early summer. The When the racoon numbers reach a high enough limit, nature takes over, the raccoons come down with rabies and die out, then the cycle starts all over again. For years there's lots of turkeys.
A state biologist for the region told me years ago that the worst was racoons. That was some years back before the bobcats got so thick. Doesn't really matter. If you want to hunt game animals and game birds you need to be actively involved in predator control or enable somebody that can
People used to make some extra money trapping the predators for their pelts. Now almost no one does since prices are so low.
Last fall I watched a young black bear chase a flock of turkeys out of a meadow. He almost got one but they got away.
Humans
I used to have flock's of turkeys all the time on my property , now they're pretty much gone . I saw two areas of feathers torn from them . Don't know what is killing them . Would domestic cats dare attack turkeys or would racoons?
Not likely. You'd need a lot of kitty's to create acres of feathers. Plus an adult turkey can easily defend itself against a cat dumb enough to try.
@@bruceb5481 I have acres but the feathers were in two small areas . I didn't think a cat could do that . Any ideas what could ? I have had no signs of coyotes or Bob cats , did have some red fox but something scared them off ! Alot of hawks ,a few Eagles and vaulchers.
“A turkeys hearing works in conjunction with its eyes to detect danger” WOW,who would have ever imagined that. This guy needs a raise
I think he says this alluding to how renown their vision is and hearing assists what we know, on a different spectrum. They are very instinctual, with a brain the size of a pea. You have way overgeneralized what he said. Maybe you don't understand turkey hunting. Maybe you're just a sour mf'r....or a salty 1.
Adult mortality has little effect on overall population compared to nesting success and poult survivability.
Exactly
It seems since the bobcats came the turkeys diminished. We used to have turkeys in the yard year round and haven't had any for quit a few years now.
At one time, it was coons that were the main problem here. Just guessing, I'd say it's the bobcats now since sighting is way more frequent. Either way, hunters need to be involved with predator control
So when I coon kills 12 eggs I personally count that as 12 dead poults. I didn’t hear the mention of coons. Nest predators I assume kill more birds than anything else. But also heard you mention adult birds a few times
I despise wild turkeys. They decimated the quail population on a half section of farm I hunted for years when their population exploded on it. They find a newly hatched nest and gulp those baby quail down like grasshoppers. And the amount of money my state wants for a tag is ridiculous. I hunt a different piece of ground now. Just me on 60 acres. Woods, soybeans and pasture. Very few quail. Very few. Turkeys galore.
More likely bad quail habitat, like most farmland nowadays.
No evidence of wild turkeys effecting quail populations
Wouldn’t care after seeing that show!
One year there was a bob kitty around the farm seen it a few times and there was turkey feathers every place you looked last time i seen that cat he was never sen again and the next year the turkey fearhers werent laying every place
I've killed a lot of coyotes over the years spring gobbler hunting, got 2 coyotes this spring, I hunt a big farm in Braxton County West Virginia that I get both gobblers and coyotes there usually every year
Niceeeee 🤙🏼
Chris was the perfect person to teach in this video. Good job
I can’t believe how much ground it covered when it lounged at him.
Waited too long……what if the gun misfired?
