[QUOTE="Andy S., post: 4753113, member: 131"] [b]Re: SC passes new turkey regs to bolster declining populatio[/b] South Carolina DNR had a hand in it too. Up until 2015, they had a very liberal 5 bird limit in the face of 15 straight years of declining harvests and poult recruitment. If SC DNR would have gotten their way (more restrictive), the season would open 10 days later than the new dates, so April 10 instead of the new opener of April 1, and the season would only be 36 days long instead of the 40 day season. As mega has eluded to several times, an increasing number of SC hens are being observed with no poults come late summer, which is detrimental to the turkey population over time.
