Ep 55 / Decline in Turkey Harvest Numbers

Send a text

Welcome to the Backwoods Bowhunter Podcast. If you like bowhunting and backwoods humor, then you might have come to the right place. Our style is for you to feel like you are sitting around the campfire with your buddies, tossin' back some cold beers, talking bowhunting and whatever else may come to mind. We keep it real, raw, and have some good ole fun.

Episode 55:
We take a look at the wild turkey harvest numbers in Illinois and Kentucky over the past few years. Kentucky's 2022 harvest was the lowest in 14 years. Illinois saw a decline of approximately 2500 birds between the 2021 and 2020 seasons. 

We discuss various ideas on what may be contributing to the decline and look at the report published by Field and Stream.

"In a civilized and cultivated country, wild animals only continue to exist at all when preserved by sportsmen. The excellent people who protest against all hunting, and consider sportsmen as enemies of wildlife, are ignorant of the fact that in reality the genuine sportsman is by all odds the most important factor in keeping the larger and more valuable wild creatures from total extermination." - President Theodore Roosevelt
