[QUOTE="Willysman, post: 5352549, member: 21886"] I also hunt the SC each year. Started in '77. Lots of turkeys and very rarely ever saw another hunter. Then the turkey craze started in the eighties and the woods were full of hunters. Also extensive trapping was taking place. The population went down and has never come back and most likely never will. Same thing with deer. When I started deer hunting in the sixties there was a pretty good population of deer. You were allowed to kill a doe on the quota hunts. A biologist told me if the doe harvesting continued it would decimate the herd and it would never come back and he was correct. [/QUOTE]
