[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5339068, member: 1409"] Or, just open the season a week later, and half of them will decide to go elsewhere? And the other half has less opportunity to decimate public land birds? Drop the limit back to 2 birds annually? Just some observations: The "early" season non-resident turkey hunters tend to be much more accomplished turkey hunters (or killers) than most TN resident turkey hunters. They also seem to have less concern for the sustainability of the resource than do our resident hunters. Never mind I am sometimes myself a non-resident hunter in other states, and I have friends who come to TN as non-resident hunters, so [U]this not meant to come across as a hatred of non-residents[/U]. Just saying, non-residents, as a collective group of turkey hunters, have been "invited" by TWRA to come decimate our public lands' turkeys via of our early season opening and high bag limit. Our non-resident turkey hunter "problem" has been caused more by TWRA than by those non-resident turkey hunters themselves? [/QUOTE]
