[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 4741131, member: 1409"] My personal opinion is it's too late for that, as so many turkey shooters are now using decoys, that they feel very entitled, and TWRA is not going to take away their "entitlements". There has been too little, too late with our statewide turkey management. What was once the sport of turkey hunting has become more about turkey shooting with high tech and gadgetry. [u]At this point[/u], the [u]only practical solution may be to simply shorten the season and lower the bag limit[/u]. Think about it: Today's turkey guns have about 50% greater range than just a decade ago (at least by the average shooter afield). Decoys gone electronic and almost like "live" decoys. Long-range sniping and close-range reaping glamourized by the facebook crowds. TWRA increased the bag limit from 2 to 4 birds, and started a fall hen season. Then the number of turkey hunters has increased. Some even have cellular trail cams letting them know exactly where turkey are in a field, right now, so they can just shoot them? Any wonder why the turkey population has been plummeting over the past few years? [/QUOTE]
