[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5353371, member: 2805"] From a biological standpoint, there is no reason NOT to remove adult toms after breeding has taken place (as long as jakes are spared to do the breeding the following year). The problem in TN (and in MS) is we are killing over half the adult toms in the first 9 days of the season, well before peak breeding. Once populations become almost unhuntable, TN could still have a 2 week season May 1 thru 14th without impacting reproduction significantly (again, as long as jakes are off limits). I'd much rather see that than completely close the season altogether. [/QUOTE]
