[QUOTE="catman529, post: 5111881, member: 9284"] The opening week pressure has been high for sure, but those birds ain’t that easy to kill all the time. If two guys tagged out in 5 days, they did something. The majority of hunters won’t kill anything in the first week, a few will kill 1 or 2, very few will tag out in the first week. One thing I’ve noticed is the birds are usually much more vocal in the early season, and completely quiet and uninterested in the late season. I’m assuming it has some to do with the dumber vocal birds being killed early, but could be something else as well. I’ve hunted places in bama that have good healthy turkey populations and places that have been logged to death and pushed all the birds out. The new regs may not be the best, but I think they’ll help some, since I don’t see any end to the timber harvest any time soon. Pines are a big cash crop in bama, and many of the WMAs have been logged very heavily recently, which the turkeys don’t seem to take well to. [/QUOTE]
