[QUOTE="Iglow, post: 5870301, member: 22496"] Think back to before tss of how many turkeys you had at 55 to 60 yards that never came any closer and you didn't shoot. A friend that uses TSS told me he killed a gobbler stone dead with 1 shot from a 20 gauge at 70 paces, and he's a long legged dude. That 25 yards between 35 and 60 might as well be a mile with lead, but with TSS it's a dead bird and a reduction in population. The shrinking turkey population is too widespread and too varied to be natural causes, it's happened because we've invented ways to kill them farther and easier and we've done it. The answer IMO is ban TSS, use of decoys except for bowhunting and have a 30 day/2 gobbler limit beginning the first Saturday in April with tags for checking in the birds and no out of state hunters for the first 15 days.
