[QUOTE="hooks, post: 5339133, member: 20272"] I usually don't like to toss the term 'quota' around because it always means a lack of opportunity for someone, but for NRs and turkey hunting, I do support one. If other states can figure it out and put one in place, there is no reason we cannot. Other states do not have a monopoly on brain power. I do fear that it could eventually lead to a resident quota on certain public grounds though if resident pressure is deemed excessive somehow. After seeing and hearing about the duck hunting disaster this past fall, I guess that fear has already came to fruition in a way. I think a better idea would be to introduce a turkey stamp to hunt spring turkey and greatly increase the price for NRs. I would be glad to separate turkey hunting out of the big game stamp and pay for it separately in the spring; albeit at a decent price since I am a resident. I see residents benefitting with reduced NR pressure and improved public lands (assuming that money made on turkey stamps would be reinvested). I also see cash flows staying relatively stable for TWRA and potentially increasing. Also, no BS 3-day or 7-day turkey stamp for NRs. If they want to hunt turkeys in TN, pay up for the resource that is being utilized. [/QUOTE]
