[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5057692, member: 1409"] As an aside, maybe near impossible for many to believe now, but when I was growing up, quail hunting was by far more popular in Tennessee than is turkey hunting today. More people quail hunted then, than turkey hunt today. Am referencing quail here because in many respects, bobwhite quail are very much like a diminutive wild turkey. Quail and quail populations are just more fragile. Despite that quail fragility, hunters near completely wiped out the wild turkey across Tennessee in the early 1900's, yet the quail populations were robust until at least the 1960's, only majorly declining in the past two or three decades. Over-hunting had almost nothing to do with the quail decline, and our current turkey decline may also be less effected by hunting than by other factors. Still makes no sense to not take reasonable steps that can't hurt, and should help? [/QUOTE]
