Quote from: Old Gobbler on March 21, 2014, 09:33:19 PMThere is only one place in the world you can see a true Osceola Wild Turkey ....... With dwindling habitat ' and nightmare land management being imposed on several large tracts of public and private property south of Orlando -- you have no idea how serious the problem could be with Osceolas - The money placed into improving the situation is a pittance - there should be vast quantities of money and political pressure thrown around , yet ..... Next to nothing is done , and let me tell you some very ( past ) state Nwtf board members have been standing up on tables and jumping up and down trying to get something done --- next to nothing has been done - finally folks got tired and quit - call up the federation and ask them , beg them for hep and you probably won't get any real help , call them up and ask them if you can leave them in your final will as a beneficiary for a large sum , and my guess is the phone won't stop ringing off the hook For the record only about 700 turkeys are harvested in Florida on public wmas - half are hybrids "... Most of the non state owned property is developed into housing or agriculture -- the Osceola is living on borrowed time folks -- the harvest figures for the state of Florida ( private ) are a concocted lie ! A complete fabrication with absolutely no scientific data to back it up - ---I just outlined a critical wild turkey situation , it was the same 10 years ago , and 10 years from now the situation in Florida will be even more desperate - people tell me when you go to the stake holder meetings for the management districts there is zero , zero Nwtf presence , at least at the southern ones .......I'm not counting on the cavalry to save the day down here S.O.S. From Florida ........
