same in Western NY where I hunt. sometime I’ll be posted for deer and a flock walks in and through.
the old neighbor up next to my camp(now deceased) said there was no turkeys when he was a kid.
Also, now the bears that were few and far between are back in huntable numblers. things have changed.
I live in a small (Very small) town and we have deer and turkeys wander through town all the time. Black bears have been sighted multiple times near here in recent years. We’ve got bald eagles living around the lake. I’ve live trapped probably 6 raccoons here in the yard in the past year and 3 times as many possums. We’re overrun with coyotes.
Apparently all the horrifying environmental damage we’re inflicting on the world attracts wildlife.
