[QUOTE="deerfever, post: 5825448, member: 13434"] I will try to answer and it's just a guess. I am guessing it's because the majority of hunters would rather turkey hunt closer to the traditional opener and spend more time in the woods in April than late May/ memorial day weekend, especially since there is no proven benefit for our turkeys to the mid April opening date. Did they say we would open in March? I was under the impression they only wanted to push it back a week from where it opens this year? Which is still a week later than the traditional opener.I also wouldn't think they base the season for all of us on poachers that shoot over corn those guys will do whatever, whenever to kill , they are not even turkey hunters at all.Reaping has been banned on public land, so now you just have the guys that do it on their private. No way I would attempt it but no clue what percentage people actually take part. Just guessing the reaping works in mid April also , but again not something to base an opener on for all turkey hunters. [/QUOTE]
