I heard a report that the 2012 Spring turkey season is on track to harvest 18,000 birds AND over 80 % have been ADULTS.
The adult numbers are above the averages that have been stable for years.
Enjoy the 2012 harvest of your big bird(s) but 2013 may be lean for adults,and hope for this perfect nesting weather to hold for a great hatch to have some Jakes out there in 2013.
Also some Western Ohio counties are having a banner year in numbers even better than traditional counties like Vinton.
I would like all Ohio Sportsmen to add what they harvested and number of Jakes seen in 2012.
I shot a 4 1/2 old tom in 2 days hunting- no Jakes seen Knox county.
Buddy shot a 3 1/2 and 4 1/2 - 5 days hunting -no Jakes seen Knox.
