Coons and black snakes are the worst enemy to a turkey egg there is in this part of the country, And as far as an adult turkey, bobcats catch about as many as anything, them stinking things climb the tree of a night and catch them on the roost.

Pat,the egg eaters are the #1 killers...obviously higher egg eaters create heavy predation problems,coons,skunks,opossum are terrible on the nests but as already mentioned some of us across the country deal with hog problems as we do here along with ground squirrels and domestic animals.Even crows and magpies can be pests![:@]
