[QUOTE="Andy S., post: 5111639, member: 131"] To my knowledge, the southern middle TN counties where the 6 year study is ongoing, have not changed, or changed enough to affect the outcome of the study. I believe TFWC granted that consideration to TWRA and UTK. This is taken from page 2 of this document, referencing the 6 year study (2016-2022) in southern middle TN counties. [I]"More severe population declines have been observed in other areas of the state, particularly in south-central Tennessee, causing local residents, hunters and managers concern that additional population-level factors are impacting these populations (Buehler et al. 2016). In response, TWRA, the University of Tennessee and the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF) partnered on a six-year research project to determine what factors are driving turkey population fluc-tuation in southern middle Tennessee and develop strategies to address issues that are identified. The study, which began in 2016, involves radio-marking and monitoring wild turkeys in five counties, as well as collecting information regarding hunting pressure, disease prevalence and hunter attitudes and opinions (Buehler et al. 2016). The design and scope of this project should allow inference of study results and strategies to a much broader scale."
