[QUOTE="Southern Sportsman, post: 5883412, member: 10399"] If we’re splitting hairs, we are doing so figuratively, not literally. And you may be right about “nobody getting nabbed” for this. If I call in a turkey that I know to be an adult gobbler, he’s getting shot. That’s not my concern. But laws/rules/regulations should be logical, clear, and concise when possible. To see TN concoct such a stupid regulation with conflicting definitions, rather than saying “one male turkey per day, two male turkeys per year, only one of which may be a jake” is frustrating. Especially since everyone agrees that hens should generally be protected in the spring, but our current regulation exists specifically so that the killing of hens is NOT prohibited. If our Fish and Wildlife commission trusted TN turkey hunters to differentiate between a hen turkey and a male turkey, the rule would simply specify “male turkey.” [/QUOTE]
