[QUOTE="elknturkey, post: 5325241, member: 16297"] [B]People have been whining about populations for a good 10 years now. I was one of them. Twra could cut the season to 2 weeks and 1 bird and people would be up in arms. I don't pretend to know the reason why or how to fix it and I honestly doubt anyone will ever figure out. Even the so called guru chamberlain. But I do know one thing, it's happened across a fairly large portion of the country. You can't change a farmers mind on how to use his land and guys don't have time to trap or predator hunt on a scale that would matter in this busy world. You can't improve habitat on national forest thanks to the tree huggers. Short of limiting the amount of hunters, seasons and bag limits there's not a dang thing anyone can do and then everyone would whine about opportunities. I would like to see decoys/fanning banned for one year just to see the impact. That being said, TN kills 30k+ birds every year so there must be quite a few somewhere. Some of us have been spoiled experiencing the apex of turkey numbers. Hearing 10+ was awesome but it'll never be that way again. No point in whining about it. [/B] [/QUOTE]
