[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 4614012, member: 2805"] We basically have 2 simple choices to help the turkeys and stem the decline #1 Keep seasons the same and reduce limit to 2 birds or #2 Keep limits the same and delay season opener. Pick your poison, you just can't expect to live for 10 years with one of the most liberal seasons/ limits in the nation and NOT expect the population to be negatively affected. But it's like hunter's welfare programs. Once the hunters get used to the handouts, it's almost impossible to get them off. Any thing less than those changes is simply not going to be effective. And it may actually take much more aggressive changes like adjusting limits yearly based on the hatch from 2 years prior. [/QUOTE]
