[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5155154, member: 2805"] I cannot agree with this more. It's gotten to the point where most hunters (esp the youtubers) are all about taking as much as possible, with the only 'giving' back the increase in hunter recruitment and pressure. But those they recruit are also just 'takers'. Sure this past few months the youtubers are feeling the guilt... post a trapped coon here or there, post an episode highlighting the precipitous fall of populations with a biologist, post on their FB site in the past week about how bad aflatoxin is to turkeys. But those real stewards hunting on land they owned have been doing this for over a decade. You cant just expect to to throw money at the turkey via hunter license sales or NWTF donations and think turkeys are going to multiply like rabbits (well actually, turkeys seem to be multiplying as poorly as rabbits that have 20 coyotes per square mile). If you killed a turkey this past year but gave nothing back to help the future population, YOU are the problem. YOU are a taker, and the decline of the wild turkey is YOUR fault. [/QUOTE]
