[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5661746, member: 2805"] Read the article... the thing that I find absolutely mind blowing is the hunter to harvest statistic cited.... According to the author based on available data, in the first 10 days of Alabama's season, 6325 hunters checked in 7845 turkeys!!!! AND they are estimating around 50% compliance with game check (which would mean over 15,000 turkeys actually killed)!!!! You want to talk about efficiency and 'turkey killers'... well, those numbers support that argument more than anything. Turn today's turkey hunters loose on a population, and they can and WILL absolutely slaughter them. Poor birds don't even stand a chance. And this is exactly why season should never open until the majority of hens have been bred at least once. [/QUOTE]
