[QUOTE="fairchaser, post: 5596444, member: 10373"] The interesting part about the season delay is that it will likely work but for completely the wrong reasons. I doubt it will impact the hatch very much if at all but it will definitely get fewer gobblers killed with an added insurance of a lower limit. Some of the attraction of turkey hunting for me is getting out in the woods when Spring is starting up. Dogwoods in bloom and chiggers and ticks at bay; cool morning air to breathe and gobblers sounding off in every direction. Two weeks later, everything has greened up and visibility is down. The sound of a gobbler in the far distance no longer detectable. By 9:00 am, the sun is up and the locusts are cranking up. The idea of waiting for a gobbler to leave the hens he flew down with becomes less attractive. Bottom line is fewer gobblers will be killed and the powers that be will be slapping each other on the back about how effective their delayed season strategy worked! [/QUOTE]
