    Hog/Turkey nest predation info please

    Has anyone see any studies on the effect of hogs on the turkey population? It seems with them eating everything and turkeys nesting on the ground it would be possible for a high hog population to destroy all of the turkey nests an area.

    The reason I am asking, I was hunting on a friend's ranch in Crane County this weekend. The place has a lot of hogs. My friend said that they used to have turkeys but he hasn't seen any in several years. When we talked about it he realized that the turkeys disappeared about the time the pigs showed up.

    I expect that hogs do find and destroy some turkey nests but I know we have a lot of both at our place.
