Missouri Wild Turkeys, Quail and Whippoorwills all share the same predators.

Picture

Turkeys and quail share some habitat needs, such as grass for nesting, weedy areas for feeding and row crops and acorns for winter food. However, the trees that turkeys require for roosting can spell trouble for quail. Quail need low-growing tangles of brush and briars for protection from predators and the elements.
 
Tall trees shade out this beneficial woody cover over time and provide strike points for predatory hawks and owls.

The Carrying Capacity of Predators has reached extremely high levels in Missouri.

Missouri NWTF Biologist – June 2021 – Stupid high predator numbers

Missouri Wild Turkey Biologist – July 2021 - Anybody in the country will tell you predators are out of the control, especially in the Midwest.

Raccoons are just one example.

The Raccoon in Springfield, Missouri decided it wanted more than eggs.

The next night it was joined by more Raccoons.

In 2009, MDC estimated the statewide raccoon population at 1.4 million with annual trapping of 100,000 to 200,000.

In 2010, MDC estimated the statewide raccoon population at 1 to 2 million with annual trapping of annual trapping of 100,000 to 200,000.

In 2019, MDC estimates show statewide raccoon population continue growth with annual trapping from 2015 to 2019 of 20,000 to 30,000.

2018-19 season resulted in the lowest raccoon harvest since 1942 and the longest duration of decline in harvest numbers over the last 25 years with seven consecutive years of decline.

Research shows that the raccoon was the number 1 nest predator of Wild Turkey Hens up to 48%.
2020-2021 Furbearers Report in Missouri is due out any day.​

Things just got alot worse. But hey who gives a ****! Lets ignore it. Has absolutely nothing to do with Wild Turkey Production.

All it takes is habitat - No matter that's all we spent money on and talked about for the past 20 years.
I have ONE question - Why is nesting and brood habitat so important? Exacatly what are you trying to prevent. Oh that's right a predator might eat them. In the same breath predators have nothing to do with it.

You keeping hearing 5% to 1% of the fall season, two turkeys, out state hunters. Bla, Bla, Bla

But in the same **** breath the Quail Biologist 6% Adult Survival during breeding season. – Just 6% does not sound like a lot!!!!

But if 6% of the quail are making thru the breeding season it just COMPOUNDS THE NUMBER OF NEST AND NEST SUCCESS.

Only Wild Turkeys this does not apply.

Killing hens the only WILDLIFE that the North American Model for Wildlife Conservation does not apply on controlling the population by killing the female population - Even Feral Hogs it is recommend to take sows out first.

This is the 2nd and final auction of the 2021 season.

Found this interesting as Raccoon’s value nears no value.
Raccoons kill chickens at people homes, videos have shown, raccoons trying to kill geese.
Raccoons in ever study are the No. 1 Nest raider - But with sheer volume of over 2 million population in estimated population 2010 by the MDC, 11 years ago.
Friend got to see this on his camera.
Raccoon and a hen wild turkey behind it. That coon was after her poults, and she was chasing the raccoon around.

MISSOURI DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION
DECLINE OF THE BOBWHITE QUAIL!

Missouri quail populations have dropped 80% in the last 50-60 years
Largest Quail Study ever done in the state of Missouri – 5 years study in Southwest Missouri

This study results were presented by Biologist to the Conservation Commission but was not recorded by the MDC – So could not be shared. In that presentation Biologist noted that Raccoons did not like to go beyond 100 to 150 yards out into open fields and nest success was higher beyond the Raccoons travel distance.

As far as I know the MDC never presented this research in a video for public consumption.

Biologist are concerned that quail have been extirpated from 3 states East of the Mississippi despite conservation focus on improving habitat.

Missouri Department of Conservation’s Kyle Hedges

Bobwhite Quail Nesting and Brood Rearing | PART 1 | Latest, Largest Research Study 

Once believe that June 15 was peck of nesting – Nesting continues all summer per study.

Bobwhite Quail | PART 2 | Fall and Winter

Hawk Migration is at it’s highest and large mortality during those migration to quail.

Bobwhite Quail | PART 3 | The Southwest Missouri Bobwhite Quail Research Project

​6% Adult Survival during breeding season. – Just 6% does not sound like a lot!!!!

But if 6% of the quail are making thru the breeding season it just compounds the number nest and nest success

Plenty of documentation exist all across the nation shows that ALL ground nesting birds – The Early the can nest the better and more success.

Before the Baby Raccoons, Baby Opossum can come out of dens.

Effects of Northern Bobwhite Management on Raccoon Abundance, Habitat Selection, and Home Range in Southwest Missouri - Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) funding.

​

Managers can possibly reduce nest encounter rates by raccoons through reduction in timber-patch sizes, removal of movement corridors, and increase grassland patch sizes.

Managers with the goal of conserving northern bobwhite populations may be able to limit raccoon populations by reducing forest patch sizes or selectively removing large den trees.

Northern bobwhites are most vulnerable to predation during the egg and chick life stages. Average yearly nest failure, estimated from three long-term studies ranged from 66-82 percent suggesting nest predators may be having negative impacts on northern bobwhite populations

Lower densities of nest predators could result in fewer higher northern bobwhite nesting success, and therefore benefit northern bobwhite populations.

The data we have gathered over the last few months have been eye opening, and show a dramatic difference in production between the study sites. The table below shows the nesting data as of July 31, 2014. Additional nests have been located since then and complete results will be available later this year.

DOES THIS MAKE SENSE

​Does this make sense.

Predation is often the number one reason mentioned as the cause for the quail decline, and for good reason.


Many meso-mammal (medium size furbearers) nest predator populations have steadily risen over the past several decades (Figure 1) and 60 to 80% of the quail in a given population may die as the result of predation over the course of a year.


Furthermore, a recent study in the southeastern U.S. showed a 10% increase in nest success and 43% increase in chicks produced on sites where meso-mammal nest predators were intensively trapped and removed during the quail breeding season.
 
For instance, the properties in the study had “maxed out” habitat, and many of the sites had quail densities at or above 1 quail/ac. before instituting the intensive trapping! To put this in perspective, a 100-acre farm with a quail population of 1 bird/ac. could have as many as 7-10 coveys in the fall; a density that I am confident most any manager or landowner would be proud to have.
 
In addition, the intensity of trapping necessary to achieve the study results required 4 full-time trappers; an intensity level that most of us could or would not sustain, let alone be able to afford financially! And let’s not forget that the trapping was conducted during the spring and summer breeding season - not legal in Missouri and many other states.


On the more open grassland sites (which had some trees, but mostly lower growing shrubby cover) the raccoon’s travel patterns brought them in close proximity to only ~27% of nesting quail, while on the traditional managed sites raccoon travel patterns brought them in close proximity to ~50% of nesting quail.

Trapping was in Spring and Summer Breeding season – Not legal in Missouri
 
My opinion!
No. 1 - So, HABITAT was “MAXED OUT” nothing can be done but maintain – I 100% understand that. I may not be maxed out but I am close with 15 years on 84 acres of Oak/Hickory Forest of Closed Canopy in Southeast Missouri changed over time to Quality Habitat that includes – Soil Improvements, High Forage Food Plots, Timber Cuts, Timber Stand Improvements, Edge feathering, Prescribed Fires, Addition of multiple watering sources, Shrub and Tree Plantings.


No. 2 - Why does it take 4 full time trappers to trap 100 acres? I can trap 80 acres by myself!


No. 3 - Why could we not sustain it? I spent 15 years doing habitat management but can’t spend it trapping! Really! To me habitat and predator management is all management of one property.
 
No. 4 - Why could we not afford it? That statement makes zero sense - I have 100’s of dollars in trapping equipment and spend 100’s hours in time but I spend 10,000’s of dollars in habitat and 1000’s hours on habitat! Back when fur had value, I got money back on my trapping dollars spent – No one has ever given me money to improve my habitat.


No. 5 - Trapping was in Spring and Summer Breeding season – Not legal in Missouri – Well guess what Missouri Department of Conservation can make it legal! They are the only Authority that can!
 
NO reason in the state of Missouri exist that prevents MDC from allowing Missouri Landowner – 93% of Missouri from Trapping during breeding and nesting season in Missouri. ZERO
 
No. 6 – They don’t even show Bobcat’s whose population has double in just by the lack of harvest alone.
 
No. 7 – They don’t even discuss the “Carrying Capacity” of predators and what is the breaking point that habitat cannot over come it!

2018-19 season resulted in the lowest raccoon harvest since 1942 and the longest duration of decline in harvest numbers over the last 25 years with seven consecutive years of decline
2018- 2019 – Opossum harvest totaled 593 lowest opossum harvests on record.
2018- 2019 – Skunk also resulted in the lowest Skunk harvest since 2000-01 only 156.


No. 8 – They never even show bobcats population increase.
2018 -2019 Bobcat season was down 28.40% from 2017-18 The decline in harvest and in the number of bobcat pelts purchased by fur dealers also is likely attributed to a poor global fur market.
 

No. 9 – Finally they never discuss Armadillo which is included in original research paper and never even mention feral hogs which Texas A&M goes into detail about the effects on ground nesting birds by feral hogs. Either predation or consumption of food sources.


MISSOURI - Explotation for Consevation 

Missouri Conservation Commissioner said during July of 2021 meeting he has lost 80% of the population of Wild Turkeys on his property.

Missouri Biologist have said in articles in 2020, that population has decline 65% or more in some areas of Missouri.

Missouri Biologist show in presentation 100,000 decline of Wild Turkey population over the next five years with no regulatory changes in Missouri.

Missouri Conservation Commissioner said that Missourians have sent more comments about the decline than any other subject since he has been on board.

Missouri NWTF Biologist recommendeds ZERO changes.

Missouri Department of Conservation regulations Committee in 2021 recommended ZERO changes.
Meanwhile 11 other states are addressing the decline of Wild Turkeys in their state.
​
Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina have lower limits, shortening season and other regulations changes based off Wild Turkey Declines.
Florida and Kentucky are considering in making changes.
Mississippi will be making changes in a month.

THANK YOU!  From a Missouri Turkey Hunters, Conservationist, Landowners, and Trapper

For the First time I see concern from the Commission - since 2018 when I started writing letters to commission, doing radio interviews and website and social media about the decline of the Missouri Wild Turkey.

Thank you, three Missouri Conservation Commissioners, have acknowledge the Missouri Wild Turkey Decline and something needs done now!


Mr. Harrison Commissioner – THANK YOU


Mr. Harrison sad to hear about the decline on your property – I am down to two hens and no poults and no gobblers since 2019 – My habitat is only better and have done every recommendation that the MDC and NWTF has suggested for habitat improvement. Here is link. But Thank you for your comments in meeting.

Summary of the Game Camera 15 Year History of Wild Turkeys on 84 acres in Bollinger County, Missouri 2007 thru 2021.

​84 acres of Oak/Hickory Forest of Closed Canopy in Southeast Missouri changed over time to Quality Habitat that includes – Soil Improvements, High Forage Food Plots, Timber Cuts, Timber Stand Improvements, Edge feathering, Prescribed Fires, Addition of multiple watering sources, Shrub and Tree Plantings. Combined photos contain 1,738 Wild Turkeys spending 556 Days in the last 15 years on the property



Mr. Orscheln - Vice Chair – THANK YOU.

For the First time since 2012 and 2015 letters to the commission BEGGING for more tools in my tool box to manage predators and being ignored by staff only concerned about prime fur.
 
Mr. Bedell - Chair - THANK YOU

For the First time since 2018 Brings up the concerns about Feral Hogs and the effects on Wild Turkeys, which the Missouri Department of Conservation has not researched.
 
Mr. Bedell – Thank you - NOT ONE STUDY OF WILD TURKEY IN MISSOURI – Has or will exist in 10 years of 100,000 Wild Hogs consuming food sources, 275 Elk Consuming food sources, 1,000 Black Bears Consuming Food Sources and predation of eggs, GOD only know the sheer number of Armadillos destroying turkey nest, the sheer number of predators on the modern landscape because of prices.

 
Missouri History – Documented by the Missouri Department of Conservation

Did you know in 1974-75 the Missouri Department of Conservation thru a simple regulation change to the bag limit reduction of 1 bird, due to poor hatch in 1973 to protect Missouri Wild Turkey Population.
The Department’s major objective is the management of the wild turkey resource is to provide maximum hunting opportunity commensurate with the turkey population’s ability to sustain harvest.

To maintain a balance approximately 2.5 poults per hen must be produce.

When this ratio drops below 2.5 a population is decline indicated and when it goes above 2.5 an increase occurs.

The Adult / Juvenile ratio dropped in 1973 to 1:1.9 and that is what two bird limit was dropped in 1974.

1977 - Production Rate of Turkey hens – 3.88 ratio of poults per hen – Highest on record - Broods increased 88.6 over 1976.
1979 – 1980 – 634,338 (2nd highest pelts sold - when average raccoon pelt values were estimated at $27.50.
 
1997 – 1998 – Over 200,000 Raccoons were trapped.
1998 – Production Rate of Turkey hens – 2.6 ratio of poults per hen.
 
2018 - 2019 – Raccoon totaled 22,562 trapped - 2016-17 – when average raccoon pelt values were estimated at $2.77
2018-19 season resulted in the lowest raccoon harvest since 1942 and the longest duration of decline in harvest numbers over the last 25 years with seven consecutive years of decline.
2021 – Lowest Wild Turkey Harvest in 24 years.

On Sept. 10, 1935, about 75 Missouri sportsmen met at a hotel in Columbia were disgusted with then the current state of the wildlife regulations controlled by the government and special interest groups.
Wild Turkey Population and Harvest as the wild turkey population grows the season expanded, but as population decline other state make a change and listen to the hunting citizens!
​
Game and Fish Commission outside of Missouri.
Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina have lower limits, shortening season and other regulations changes based off Wild Turkey Declines.
Florida and Kentucky are considering in making changes.
Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission approved significant changes for wild turkey hunting season dates and bag limits. The presentation covered wild turkey population declines, hunting statistics, and results from a hunter survey that produced more than 5,000 comments — an all-time high for hunter input on a proposed change.


MY OPINION - Regulation Changes that CAN and WILL make a difference.

I watched every presentation on Wild Turkeys, read every article on wild turkey.

The STAFF presents all factors in a box by itself. They never combined factors together to increase population, increase quality of hunting and increase more hunters.
Example - Trapping with No Hen Harvest.
Example – Trapping with Moving Youth Season
Example – Trapping with limit on spring season
Example - Trapping with No Hen Harves, Moving Youth Season, Limit on Spring Season

 
1. ALL hens are in every Season protected - No Archery, No Fall Hens, No Bearded Hens.
WILD TURKEY HENS Breakdown - STOP KILLING HEN IN MISSOURI – They keep saying number of hens killed do not matter to the population, I say – DEAD HENS DON’T LAY EGGS - If they cannot replace themselves in the short term or long term RIGHT NOW per MDC 5-year search - dead hen definably will not.
 
2. Furbearer Season Extend to February 29 - Stop letting 40 fur buyers, decide the season.
PREDATORS Breakdown
 
1940 – 1941 – 834,935 pelts harvested (most pelts sold) (over 70% were opossum and skunk pelts) most pelts sold
1945 – 1946 – Missouri Fur Dealer Permits 1,192
1979 – 1980 – 634,338 (2nd highest pelts sold - when average raccoon pelt values were estimated at $27.50.
1997 – 1998 – Over 200,000 Raccoons trapped.
1980 – 1981 – 13,248 trapping permits sold in the state of Missouri (Highest Number)
2011/2012 - 158,356 Raccoons sold.
2019 - MDC issued 41 Fur Buyer Permits
2018 - 2019 – 6,956 trapping permits sold in the state of Missouri
2018 - 2019 – Raccoon totaled 22,562 trapped
2018-19 season resulted in the lowest raccoon “22,562” harvest since 1942 and the longest duration of decline in harvest numbers over the last 25 years with seven consecutive years of decline
2018- 2019 – Opossum harvest totaled 593 lowest opossum harvest on record.
2018- 2019 – Skunk also resulted in the lowest Skunk harvest since 2000-01 only 156.
2018 – 2019 - Coyote population appears to be on a slight increase since the 1970s
2018 -2019 Bobcat season was down 28.40% from 2017-18 The decline in harvest and in the number of bobcat pelts purchased by fur dealers also is likely attributed to a poor global fur market.
 
3. Landowner’s furbearers are open year-round. WE own 93% of the land. Use the Arkansas Regulations
A new free Predator-Control Permit also will be available to private landowners, which will let permit holders shoot or trap bobcat, coyote, gray fox, red fox, opossum, raccoon and striped skunk day or night.
 
This permit will be available by late August to enable more opportunity to control these species on private land.
 
Commission Chair Ken Reeves of Harrison and Commissioner Stan Jones of Walnut Ridge explained that the goal of the regulations was not to eliminate any of these species on a statewide basis.
“I think everyone knows that the reason we’re doing this is we simply don’t have people trapping and hunting raccoons and opossums like we did many years ago because the pelts aren’t worth much,”
 
Reeves said. “We’re trying to fill that gap by letting private landowners reduce these predators on their property to try to boost their quail and turkey numbers.”
 
4. Youth Season move to weekend before regular season opens.
YOUTH SEASON Breakdown
You cannot kill 72,264 Gobblers and call it Biological Sound!! Cannot have it both ways.
MISSOURI YOUTH SEASON GOES AGAINST THE VERY BIOLOGICAL REASON FOR THE DAY THE SEASON OPENS - The season opens Monday closest to April 21st. This corresponds to the historical records of the second peak Missouri Ozark Gobbling. This is the biological reason for the opening day.
Which may lead to the great successes in turkey population because the hens get to breed with the dominate birds with the first peak gobbling.
So Biological Reason no longer exist - Why not open the season the SATURDAY AND SUNDAY before the Monday closets to April 21st for Biological Reason!
 
5. Move back to a Two-Week Season – 1 Gobbler Limit until goal is reestablished. The Missouri Department of Conservation - No.1 goal for Missouri Wild Turkey is Quality Turkey Hunting. - Lots of adult gobbling birds.
 
6. Take the Armadillo off the Non-Native List and put them on Invasive Species list they are documented on camera destroying wild turkey nest while looking for bugs under the nest. They bulldoze thru and destroy eggs and lick up the yoke. The Armadillos are a threat to all ground nesting birds in Missouri – Wild Turkey, Quail, and Whip-poor-wills.
 
​Let me be perfectly clear – Lot more could be and should be done – This is the starter list – But NOT One by itself will matter this is going to be a complicated solution for a complicated problem – Doing nothing is not a solution – SEE past 5, 10, 20 years as proof of that!!!
