The population is building here in Illinois.
I don't have pics available on this device to share. We have pics on our trail cams, I have seen them myself, and my son and I found a fresh road killed tom.
At this point, DNR has allowed limited trapping tags. No hunting. I don't have any desire to kill one yet, but if they are as hard on the turkeys as they say....the desire will arise.
Years ago, IL DNR began polling hunters when they checked their deer in if you had "seen any turkeys while hunting"
....a few years later, we had turkeys.
...then it was otters...
....then it was bobcats...
....now it is wild pigs!
Methinks I see a pattern.
