SC passes new turkey regs to bolster declining population

Re: SC passes new turkey regs to bolster declining populatio

Regarding zones, would it make sense to go all the way to a county level? Looking at the harvest map with the dark/medium/light blues and there's just so much variability within the existing units. Maybe consider birds killed per square mile or something as a basis?

I know some have cited counties like Giles that have very few birds in the southern half so there may be some exception but why not Start managing in a more localized fashion.

It's a good start. Still overall state four bird limit, but you may only kill one bird in a county like Lawrence, but then shoot three more in Maury.

They do something similar in OK I believe. Counties with lower numbers have a 1 bird limit, others have a 2 bird limit, no more than 3 statewide. I like that system and I don't think it would be that hard to implement.
