Harold could you elaborate on the decline of turkeys. I have been a bit of an amateur pathologist since college and my interest has always been plants in that is how i made my living but have seen a lot of new diseases and insects over the last 10- 20 years. Our crow population succumed to west nile in 2 years time 20 years ago and has not come back.
Read of a disease(virus) in the Hudson valley in New York that halved the deer herd last year. Spread by no-seeums and high fatality rates. Very interested to know what is affecting turkeys in that the area i hunt in Maine they dissapeared in a years time.
