[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 4614050, member: 2805"] limiting to 1 bird opening week would help areas with fair populations, yet still be devastating to areas with marginal populations, in my opinion. It would not hurt those in areas with excellent populations. You would have fewer out of state hunters come to TN to hunt opening week certainly. (Won't affect me personally, I'm fine if I only get to take 1 bird my first trip up, because I know I will be coming back up later in the season and will have others I'm working to get birds for.) But for those who are only making 1 trip to TN, they will either not come at all, or come later in the season- which is a GOOD thing. TN residents and landowners deserve priority IMO.) But I'm sure there will be very vocal opposition to any reductions in number of birds killed. Again, welfare mentality, too used to getting a 4 bird limit (even though as Steve pointed out, only 12% of hunters kill more than 2 birds- but those hunters usually are the most vocally opposed to limit reductions. Most do not care about the resource, they just care about the kill). [/QUOTE]
