[QUOTE="Southern Sportsman, post: 5874285, member: 10399"] Based on number of turkeys I’ve seen, I think much of West TN had a great hatch the last two years. I’ve seen multiple gobbler groups (3-6) and a few gaggles of jakes. I suspect favorable spring weather, and no ill-timed spring backwaters played the biggest role in that, but we can only control what we can control. And I think the season delay is helping. IMHO, even if it just helps a little, it’s worth it. Especially since it’s not really reducing opportunity (everyone still gets to hunt 6 weeks in the spring) and it absolutely did not reduce hunter success. So if it helps the turkeys at all, and doesn’t reduce success rates or opportunity, why the hell would we not stick with it? $ is the only answer I can think of. If we keep the delay, non-residents won’t come here to shoot TN turkeys before their own state opens. [/QUOTE]
