[QUOTE="deerfever, post: 5874507, member: 13434"] The ones involved in the study have said over and over in the paper , when the preliminary results were released and everything out that there is no reproductive benefits to a delay. I Watched Dr. Harper in a podcast that was put on this site as he talked of this study. I see the exact chart you are talking about it's chart 2.3. I also realize that the chart right below it 2.4 that you may or may not have seen states no documented effects of delayed versus non delayed on nesting success or any other aspect of the study and all numbers are basically equal. I may be misunderstanding the whole study and they actually said there are numerous reproductive benefits to a delayed season documented, I have been wrong before, certainly wouldn't be the first time..I personally don't believe moving the season back one week towards our old opener that we had since 1986 will have any negative impact whatsoever on our turkeys, as a matter of fact it says that over and over in the study and that was our old opener they are talking about. It basically says hunters will be upset when they find out delaying the season has no benefits at all. Simply my belief after looking through the study and listening to Dr. Harper who was involved in the study. Seems to be weather and predators have the biggest effect. Wonder what dates it opened back in the good ole days of turkey hunting that everyone speaks of? We probably need to go back to that, the date sure seemed to work. Notice the term our data doesn't support in the piece below.
