[QUOTE="deerfever, post: 5320644, member: 13434"] The thing I guess that got me with the bonus bird deal is TWRA showed that 1 percent I believe it was of hunters killed a limit and a bonus bird? These highly skilled bandits that traveled around to fill tags were not very good at it.What I was told by a commissioner that voted for it was the turkeys on those WMA left the area to breed and lay eggs so he felt they should just count toward state wide, something to that affect. I can look back at my email to get it exact . My point was that for instance oak ridge has not even been hunted for two years , how would a bonus bird from that WMA which has two hunts a year affect our overall population for the state? In the end I got a feeling that Megalomaniac will be right as the guy knows turkeys but I guess in my mind the question I have about the date change would be this, for years turkeys were hunted at this same time of year bred to the point of population explosion, and boss gobblers killed. Now we believe that they do not have enough time to breed , a satellite gobbler will not take over when the boss is killed and that is the reason some counties and states have had a decrease in turkey population? I am anxious to see if anything new is found when it's all over but as a turkey hunter that loves it and is absolutely obsessed , I will accept whatever they tell me needs to be done in the end to make sure my son and others can hunt them in the future. If some of you can explain my question above please do and I mean that sincerely as that is the one thing that has baffled me with some of the Chamberlain stuff. [/QUOTE]
