First day of Missouri turkey season and I'm done till next Monday. Took a 22 lb gobbler with a 10" beard at 6:30 am.
I have been trapping hard for 4 years on this property and all that effort is showing results. Turkey numbers are up a lot from just 5 years ago. Was rare to hear or see a bird. Have seen several mature gobblers and 11 Jakes over the last 2 years.
I am convinced trapping is making a difference. It's better than sitting around b_itching and moaning and doing nothing.
