Hello I'm new to the Forum. I live in East Central Indiana. I haven't hunted in about 10 years but I'm looking to get back into it with my wife this fall. I've been following this forum for a while specifically on the topic of high-powered rifles. This community seems very welcoming and knowledgeable and I'm glad to be here.

Hello hunter, Sometimes it's easy for us to miss a post added to this thread. I think the guys here are welcoming, so don't let the fact that some of us missed your post think otherwise. It is also a slower time of year than deer season, but turkey season is here now. Welcome to HI. I don't think there are many turkeys out your way. I'm south of Indy in Greenwood. I have to go south or west to see them. |

But there is some in Wayne and Randolph county's but not enough to hunt yet. |

Yeah Henry County has plenty of deer, probably more than the surrounding counties, however I've not heard of any monsters coming out of there. But you shouldn't have a problem finding some. |

But there is some in Wayne and Randolph county's but not enough to hunt yet. I have some hunting privileges in Brownsville, and I remember her mentioning that they had turkeys. It's a bit of a drive for me, so I didn't try there for turkey this year. Next year, the turkey will be coming to me. You don't live that far east do you? |

Yeah once you get north of the Connersville Brookville area there aren't many turkey's. I live up near Randolph County and if you get lucky in this neck of the woods you can find a small population, but that's if you're lucky. They're here just not in numbers. We have quite a few coyotes out here and I wonder if that keeps the population from thriving.

We have quite a few coyotes out here and I wonder if that keeps the population from thriving. They sure can, but I bet more get eaten when they're still in the egg. Coons, opossums and skunks will sure get them every chance they get. I think coons are the worst since they're not hunted as much. I caught 13 coons and 4 opossums on my little 10ac plot, and they just keep filling the vacancy. I can't wait for trapping season again. Probably a month after I stopped trapping, I had one trailcam photo with 5 coons eating my corn. I kept moving the corn location, but they would quickly find it. Habitat is equally important. Just like any animal it needs a certain habitat to flourish. I've made a special attempt to improve my area for them, and really think their population will increase in the next couple years. |
