[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 4561529, member: 1409"] Just to add a little to this . . . . . Since this is "publicly owned" federal land (that at least for the present allows sport hunting) the "average" hunter may be provided a better opportunity to participate when the more avid & accomplished hunters may limit out sooner elsewhere, or may just be more reluctant to shoot a jake if it's not a "bonus" to their statewide bag. This statement mainly pertains to a growing number of accomplished turkey hunters who typically do limit out statewide, sometimes in multiple states. In times past, those extra birds they killed did reduce the opportunity of less accomplished hunters to kill "a" turkey at LBL. This change in policy is increasing the opportunity for less accomplished and younger hunters. Again, note the "Youth" quota hunt remains a "bonus" bird. Making the LBL birds no longer "bonus" to the statewide bags may sound a bit like "socialism" but just keep in mind there may be more hunters than there are bearded turkeys in any given year, and there may not be enough birds even to be possible for every hunter to kill even one. [u]This new policy makes the opportunity a little better for everyone to kill "a" turkey[/u], while still providing a reasonably generous 2-bird annual limit on LBL for everyone, even those who will not be fortunate enough to be drawn for one of the two quota hunts. The appeal of the quota hunts is they precede the non-quota hunts, thus the quota hunt participants get the first opportunities at the LBL birds. But that's it. They are no longer "bonus" birds as they were in the past (except for youth participating in the "Youth Only" quota hunt). [/QUOTE]
