[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5643724, member: 1409"] Exactly. Look at all the avid turkey hunters who year after year killed 4 birds, then took others turkey hunting to kill more. Some of the "must get their limit every year" hunters now say we should close turkey season entirely, putting their getting their limit above everything else. Limit is zero, they can still claim they limited out? [B]I appreciate Dr. Harper and his desire to continue his controlled turkey study with as few new variables as possible. [/B] Craig is a great guy (even if Randy Travis is his brother). But the lowest holes in the bucket needed plugging before more was lost. Delayed season opening with reduced limit was a big step to help the statewide turkey populations. The turkeys need all the help we and Mother Nature can give them. Hopefully between these reg changes and turkeys statewide generally having good nesting success & poult survival the past 2 years, things can at least more potentially get back closer to those good ole turkey hunting days. My fear remains whatever happened to the quail, and the grouse, is also happening to the turkeys. With the quail & the grouse, their decline had little to do with hunting regs or hunting, and some say it had little to do with nesting success. [/QUOTE]
