[QUOTE="deerfever, post: 4905126, member: 13434"] Yes , Well said Southern sportsman! I am glad we agree on latitude and opening dates. Again we open two weeks later than Georgia and Alabama due to latitude. TN opens earlier than Minnesota and Kentucky due to latitude. I couldn't have said it better. Also we agree on harvest numbers, remember in 2018 when some people o here pointed out the harvest falling below 30,000 and it meant the demise of the turkey in TN? I am glad we weren't part of that crowd. I felt the drop was simply due to the bad weather the first few weekends of the season but I was laughed at. Then 2019 came and once again the harvest people pointed out a TWRA conspiracy theory because harvest was over 31,000 birds and they had predicted drops to 24,000 or less. 2020 hits 40,000 and a new state harvest record. It seems people only believe or point to harvest numbers when it fits their personal agenda. I am not selfish either as even though I am hearing and seeing more turkeys in 38 years of hunting in counties that most wouldn't hunt, I sent a recommendation to start a week later( even though we already start the first weekend in April )and reduce the limit to 3 . I also have a son that hunts turkey. If the TN turkey study proves Dr. Chamberlains theory correct than I am all in if indeed it helps with poult production and if a 2 bird limit is necessary, I will also go along with that but please if that happens bring back the bonus bird on special quota hunts!
