Strangely enough, we loose a lot of turkeys in SW New Mexico to cougars. I have called in two cougars with a turkey call myself during the spring hunts. My son has called in a cocuple as well as has my brother-in-law. I suppose it was not mentioned in the NWTF press release as it is probably only due to the huge cougar population in the particular area I frequent. Just thought I would share that information. The Press Release is interesting though, to say the least.
Thanks for posting it!

"Recent studies have shown that coyotes are not very effective predators on turkeys. They may take an occasional adult, poult or find a nest, but they are better at controlling smaller predators such as raccoons, skunks and foxes. These smaller predators are far more efficient at preying on turkey nests, poults and adults. Removing coyotes may, in fact, have an opposite effect by creating more nest, poult and adult turkey predators."
;D ;D
I have often thought that it could be a real amuzing sight to see a coyote take on a big Gobbler. My guess is unless it were caught by surprize a Gobbler could hand a Coyote his lunch.
Would be a fight worth seeing.
