[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5062018, member: 1409"] Just because TWRA can't do much about much the above, that does not meant they should do nothing differently, when it comes to season dates and bag limits, which are also factors effecting the outcome. I believe if our spring season were changed to open the 2nd Saturday of April (rather than the Saturday closest to April 1st), that alone would be a giant step in regulatory change to help improve our turkey populations. This could make more difference than all other "reasonable" proposed regulatory changes combined, while keeping everything else "as is" (same closing date, same bag limit, etc.). I'm sure some are going to chime in pointing out that turkey populations have also been lower in many places, such as LBL, the State of KY, which already have a later opening date. Just saying, I believe those areas would be in worse shape if they had been instead opening around April 1st. Regarding hunters success, anyone want to look at KY statewide compared to TN statewide? Look at the number of hunters killing "a" bird annually, and number of hunting days to kill "a" bird. [/QUOTE]
