[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5076805, member: 1409"] Another perspective, maybe it tells us they care about the wild turkey more? How can we say those limiting out (without decoys) "care more" when they're not willing to give up one week of our long season? Except no where have we heard anyone calling for that? Seriously, [U][B]all I've heard is many thinking our 6-full week (7 weekend) [I]LONG[/I] season could delay it's opening by 1 week[/B][/U][B]. [/B]I've heard no one seriously suggest we need a 1-bird limit, although many do believe a 2-bird limit makes sense. Main thing Nashville is hearing are hunters who regularly limit out, demand other hunters cease using decoys? :oops: I'm a little slower than normal this morning. You'll have to explain how our current model incentivized people to improve habitat conducive to turkeys. Seems to me, improving habitat and hunting regulations are more separate issues? As an aside, the main areas in TN I turkey hunt now have better habit for turkey than these areas did when we had a lot more turkeys a couple decades ago. I'm talking thousands of acres, private property (not LBL). It's going to be a real struggle just to keep this habitat anywhere close as good for turkey as it currently is, much less "improve" it. This same area also has much better habitat for quail than we had when quail were plentiful. We have a few quail, very few, but their populations seem to be on the decline. My fear is that as go the quail, so go the turkey, and the "fix" is neither habitat improvement nor hunting regulations. [/QUOTE]
