[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5113631, member: 2805"] We aren't talking about the fellows killing 2 or 3 a year in TN, we are talking Nationwide. The 10% ers are killing 2 or 3 in TN, PLUS another 10 each spring in other states. Nothing wrong with that, tons of nonresident $$$s infused into state wildlife agencies, but like th88 said, almost none of that is going back into turkeys. With so many people becoming more effective turkey hunters (killers), the resource just can't handle the increased pressure/killing, ESPECIALLY on public lands. There has to be a balance between what is best for the turkeys and what is best for the wildlife agencies. If the agencies get it wrong and the resource isn't managed properly, both will end up suffering. I think the problem is going to fix itself though. As populations decline and pressure increases, fewer people will be willing to travel for a week of hiking and no gobbles. [/QUOTE]
