[QUOTE="deerfever, post: 5548099, member: 13434"] The only impact I think you will see with the new regs is less non resident hunters due to the two week delay and the fan ban will possibly prevent a tragedy on public land. You could have put a quota in place or just confined non residents to private lands the first two weeks to have solved that. 90 percent killed two or less anyway and most 65 /70 percent only killed 1 so the limit of two will be a wash. The two week delay? Some say it will help nest initiation/success. I do not believe that at all for one it's an unproven theory and preliminary/posted studies from here in TN show otherwise. This is just my belief/opinion, the weather , nest predators and habitat will dictate our hatch just like it has forever, wether we open April 1 or 15. I realize I am not in the majority on this site and do respect all other opinions, this is just mine. Look at the great hatch from this year, no two week delay required, just the right weather. Get you some dog proofs and pray for the right weather during this year's nesting process, those two are proven to help turkeys. Come on April 15th! [/QUOTE]
