deer, turkey, coyotes, squirrels

In NC it is deer. No more quail. Not as many squirrel or rabbits either. Turkeys have made a phenominal comeback. Our black bear population is really increasing and I think we have the heaviest black bears in the 48. You won’t even get your picture taken with a 600 lb bear. Got to be in the 700s. Those live in Eastern NC. Need a tractor to load them in a truck.

Turkey, squirrel, rabbit, pheasant. Gun deer season here is more like sit and pray.

Charles,
Do you think the decrease in squirrels, quail etc could have anything to do with the phenomenal increase in turkey's? Just wondering.

Enjoy watching my boy and his buddies rabbit hunt too.

I don't like setting around waiting for the animals. I like to make things happen. I really enjoyed driving deer when I was younger, shotgun season.

Wolf, coyote, elk, moose and deer all tied for 1st for different reasons.

What would be the explanation for black bears in NC being 3 times the average size of bears in the rest of the world?

Bear with hounds.

At one time or location I have enjoyed all of them plus #4. and that would be calling fox.

I love turkey hunting and big game with a bow, but if I only had one morning left on earth it would be a cold rainy day with a big south wind in a narrow slough shooting greenheads coming to the call.

Pheasant hunting but my grandpa and I always have a fun time groundhog hunting.

I’ve never seen or heard evidence of turkeys destroying grouse eggs. I think the obvious cause is grouse need new growth 10-40 year old forests for nesting. Across the nation, the proportion of new growth forest is declining and grouse numbers follow. Turkeys are pretty adaptable and prefer older age class forests. Maybe I’m a simpleton but there used to be a lot more grouse when there was a lot more logging.
