[QUOTE="deerfever, post: 5867272, member: 13434"] Again it's just a matter of preference, either way we killed 30k birds last year, same amount we harvested steady since the year 2000 most killed either 1 or two just the same as it was even when the limit was 4. Last year was the 3rd year of there being delayed season in some or all of TN. The hundreds of hens studied for 6 years in the TN study were in delayed and non delayed areas with no difference for our turkeys in nesting success whatsoever. The common theme to the great hatches of the last 3 years has been weather, same as the article about great hatches I have posted in Mississippi which opens March 15, dry weather at the right times. Weather and predators 100 percent of the time will determine the success. Also this year will be the second year of the delay for the entire state, so we are on the same page if all things are the same again this year with nesting success as in the past. We will have to wait to see what happens with the weather, let's all hope it's dry again at the right times and not wet. Remember all the success you speak of last year for hunters were birds from a non delay in TN. Again if nothing else just move it back a week, juvenile would have been March 30 this year and opener would have been April 6. I will survive either way just stating my preference, I realize opinions will vary. Hurry up April 13!!! [/QUOTE]
