[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5055737, member: 1409"] By they way, please note that LBL's quota turkey hunt is no longer a "bonus" bird, [I]AND[/I] the [I]ANNUAL[/I] limit (for LBL) has been reduced to one (1) bird (that bird also counting towards the statewide limit). This is a significant reduction in turkey hunting opportunities for public-land resident hunters living near LBL. In the case of LBL's limit reduction, it's not just because of the influx of non-resident hunters, but also due to realizing the fragility of ongoing turkey populations, the influx of feral pigs, and the turkey limit simply being too high in the recent past. When the LBL quota was a "bonus" bird, many accomplished turkey hunters mainly hunted LBL just to increase their annual kill beyond limiting out statewide, i.e., they could kill 4 birds each spring instead of "just 3". All the above has contributed to LBL's current turkey population being on the low side now. Hopefully, LBL's "resource" of turkeys is now being better managed for the future, albeit the management failure in controlling the pigs may negate it all. [/QUOTE]
