The best thing about turkey hunting is the challenge. It's complicated.
Don't pick the wrong spot -- they're not there. Don't make a sound -- they'll hear you. Don't make the wrong call -- they won't talk back. Don't wear the wrong camo, don't move, don't blink -- they'll see you. Don't misjudge the range -- you'll miss.

"It was also an increase over the previous three-year average, but the long-term average fall harvest is decreasing.
"We are not harvesting as many in the fall as we used to, but that's a good thing that we're not taking those hens out of the population because the turkey population is seeing declining trends across the state."
