What Constitutes A Lot of Turkeys??

In the places I hunt, if I hear 5, that's a lot.

One place I hunt it used to be nothing to hear 5 or 6. Now I'm lucky to hear 1. Another place had a treeline along a ditch that seperated two properties. It was about 200 to 250 yards long. The first morning I hunted it with a friend I swear the whole treeline gobbled. He said with a shakey voice, I thought you just saw two birds yesterday evening, how many was that? I replied, I can't count that high. It's dwindled there now too. About 3 birds is a good morning there now.

Last spring I heard 11 different gobblers on the first day...all from one listening spot.  They are doing terrible population wise in my area of East Texas but thriving on my leased land.

I can say the same as most guys on here. About 8-10 years ago I would hear in upwards of a dozen on the roost while hunting the Eastern Shore of Maryland. They would even sound off throughout the morning. Can't say the same here recently but my question would be are predator numbers up causing these birds to adapt to them not sounding off in risk of becoming a meal for a coyote?

The Louisiana hunting thread got me to thinking about what folks consider "a lot of turkeys" when some folks mentioned parts of that state holding "a lot of turkeys."
Growing up as a kid in southeast Louisiana, there were times I thought we had a lot of turkeys.  If we heard more than one bird gobble in a morning, that was a big deal. I have been fortunate, as an adult, to have lived and traveled to areas of the country that really do have " a lot of turkeys".  I never will forget the first time I beheld a fall flock in Missouri that pushed 100 birds.   
Obviously, my question is going to vary from area to area and that is precisely the point.  So, what I am interested in knowing is what you all consider "a lot of Turkeys" where you live. 
I know that I am very much looking forward to this Spring, as one of the properties that I hunt was holding a flock of 18 adult toms this fall.

Depends.  I grew up in central Missouri and did not know we had "a lot" of turkeys, but I think we did.  Just about any morning I could work multiple birds.  now that I'm in southeastern Louisiana, well, that just has not been the case.  I heard two birds all season and killed one of them!

Now, when I lived in Washington, I was blown away by how many turkeys there were!  I counted 240 in one field in the fall.

when i was deer hunting my place this year i counted roughly 30 birds out in the field feeding.but with that said i dont think they are there year round so id say if i call in 2-3 gobblers thats alot
