[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5353084, member: 1409"] I really don't understand your thinking this (in this circumstance), much less saying it. It's much like someone bleeding out from an arterial bleed, as you say, wait, we must determine the exact cause of this, before we address treatment, as we watch the patient die from our doing nothing. We do know the turkey populations in long established flocks have been trending downward for years. And we do know several regulatory changes that would be beneficial, while continuing to study all the causal factors. The main turkey "study" being mentioned, only involves a relative few of TN's counties. Whatever is done in the other counties would have little to no effect on the study in those counties being studied. All this aside, there are decades-long data to study from both TWRA and neighboring states. Many these other states have and are taking significant regulatory actions to slow the declining turkey populations, as they simultaneously "study" the causal factors. I have generally been a strong supporter of TWRA, especially the county wildlife officers, but there is much to fault TWRA with their seemingly greater interest in non-resident license sales than managing the resource of our resident turkeys. What about sustainability of the resource that is the primary causal factor for people to buy licenses, both resident & non-resident? I realize that operating revenue is a part of sustaining the TWRA, but in not making a regulatory change as simple as just opening the turkey season a week later . . . . . . . Is TWRA killing the goose that's been laying their golden eggs? [/QUOTE]
