[QUOTE="Southern Sportsman, post: 5060778, member: 10399"] Yep. I’m really anxious to see the poult recruitment numbers from last year following the season-long turkey slaughter. Last year the Summer Survey was completed in January. They didn’t make it available on the website, but I contacted my commissioner and got a copy. I requested a copy earlier this week through the TWRA information request email. They responded quickly and professionally. Supposedly under Roger Shields, they are “making the report more comprehensive,” and expect it to be available in April. Shields also mentioned that in response to Comm. Box yesterday. I was told flatly last year that many people — including Craig Harper, the UT biologist heading up the middle TN study (most know as a deer expert)—don’t agree with the theory that high early gobbler harvest adversely impacts poult numbers. Harper also disputed that our current season dates open well before most hens have been bred. Well, if they’re right then the 2020 poult numbers should bear it out. [/QUOTE]
