[QUOTE="Bgoodman30, post: 5060994, member: 18480"] The PPH number prove your hypothesis but the harvest numbers say otherwise IMO. I find it hard to believe that we had record harvest numbers without more turkeys available to harvest. My personal observations in middle TN from 2019 that there were more jakes than I had seen in a long time. Subsequently there were more gobblers in 2020 that I had observed in a many years. I think we had a good hatch somewhere along the line which resulted in a great season. It obviously differs by region but I also observed this trend in the MAV zone that has had their season limited. I just don't buy the notion that many more turkeys died because of COVID.. Taking away our liberal limit framework is a slippery slope that that will probably do little to improve hunting opportunity in this state. Until we can determine the root cause of low PPH and get those numbers ticking upward there is little we can do to mitigate.. [/QUOTE]
