[QUOTE="Andy S., post: 5887801, member: 131"] Guaranteed. You cannot study a somewhat suppressed turkey population in 5 counties and make wholesale far reaching conclusions about statewide turkey population/dynamics. We have 95 counties that span 27M acres, with noticeable land type/land use/climate variances from Memphis to Bristol. One size does not fit all. I love research as much as anyone, and lived it for 15 years at Ames with Dr. Harper and others, but boots on the ground real life hunting experience and year in and year out hunter observations have to be a part of the plan as well. I've seen firsthand what some deer research data "suggested" at times, when the reality for the hunter in the woods was 180° from what was being concluded/conveyed to the masses. My .02 [/QUOTE]
