[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5350637, member: 1409"] While I agree with you, the problem I have with TWRA regarding the turkeys is they have done very little in the meantime in terms of proactively managing the statewide turkey population. Any changes have been way too slow (by years) and way to small to make much difference. My concern is TWRA has done too little too late. Should point out that other agencies or managers being much more proactive have still experienced declining turkey populations. The State of KY opens their season significantly later (even adjusted for latitude), open half as many days, and with a 2-bird limit ---- population still fragile. LBL (which is larger than many TN counties in huntable acreage) has gone to a 1-bird limit with a delayed opening, 2-week season. Turkeys there are not flourishing. Despite significant regulatory measures seeming to do not enough, that's still no reason not to take such measures, even realizing that hunting regulations take the back seat to Mother Nature in most years.
