The Key to a Healthy Habitat: Wild Turkey Poults Return Thanks to Winter Trapping

Nice haul on the trap line.

It was a target-rich environment with three co-op neighbors and a 2nd-year rookie trapper who went all in: 160 coon, opossum, skunk, 18 coyote, 9 red fox, 6 bobcat, 3 beaver, 2 groundhog.

We have poults now, more rabbits, an overabundance of squirrels (probably) and definitely more fawn recruitment with more twin survival than we've ever seen. In fact, probably too many. This fawn maybe became a meal. Not sure.
