[QUOTE="Stumpsitter, post: 5325245, member: 20678"] I’m on the south end of the plateau. When I started hunting you were lucky to see a track or scratchings . 1988 through the early 2000’s it was the good old days as far as population in this area. It wasn’t hard for me to hear 10 to 15 birds in a morning in some of the gulfs I used hunt. I didn’t have much hunting competition either. I didn’t start seeing a tremendous amount of coyotes or hunting pressure till early 2000. It’s been down hill ever since. I personally think the season needs to be shortened and the limit needs to be no more than 2 birds. Maybe have a split season 1 bird per season/ week. Maybe that would deter a lot of the ones that don’t truly love and respect the sport and the birds themselves. This will be my 38th season. I would rather Turkey hunt than anything. I’m all about doing whatever it takes to make those days come back. It’s a sad situation. [/QUOTE]
