[QUOTE="tickweed, post: 5378421, member: 7928"] You guys say what ever you want. Our population , in Tn., Missouri, Alabama, Georgia hasent fell just because of fanning, season dates. I have hunted since the mid seventies. Many on this site know me, lve taken many gobblers, many states. Before many of your where hunting. I had a dairy farm in Dickson county leased for years. Would hear 20 a morning gobbling. Had a wintering group of 300 plus stay every fall. Could see stutters in every pasture in spring. All this vanished in one year. All of parts of Tn., and other states mentioned. This was not hunter pressure. Nor predators. The number of gobbling birds wasnt lost to them becoming smarter. Not in one season. something happened. And years later, still down. Something caused a massive loss in a large area. I feel it had to be some type disease to affect such areas all at once. I dont agree with fanning. Decoys, l could care less. I will say, l always thought our limits was too high, and season too long. [/QUOTE]
