Regarding predators, even Mountain Lions, significantly hurting deer,turkey or quail populations, that's bogus. By far poaches have a much bigger impact. Are you for shooting poachers? From what I hear from my friends in Oklahoma, lots of Okies have a reputation for pouching. From an ethical hunter's perspective,there is a very narrow and easily crossed line between poaching game and shooting any animal just for the fun of it.
Can't say for Oklahoma, but in Texas deer and turkey are flourishing, the quail's biggest problem is Imported Fire Ants. Hope you are lucky enough to not have them yet.
You think I was bullying you, because I called you a noob!?!?! Get over it...You should be honored. ROFLOL!! Nice....rant though. You even tried to imply I'm a poacher. Ha!!
You don't know what you are talking about slick. I can tell you without a doubt coyotes effect the deer, turkey and quail population. Yes, poaching happens. I know it happens in TX too. But yotes are hunting 365 days a year. Poachers generally are working during the hunting seasons.
You will have the last word.
