[QUOTE="Southern Sportsman, post: 5061093, member: 10399"] 1) We are, as a matter of verifiable, factual data, producing fewer poults than we have since turkeys were reintroduced. So it seems mathematically impossible for us to have more turkeys in the population than we did when we were producing more baby turkeys. 2) How is it a “slippery slope” to reduce liberal limits and long seasons for an animal with a declining population? 3) Since we can’t prove the smoking gun cause of the population decline, you think we should just keep hammering away at them? Ignoring the recommendations of the world’s leading wild turkey biologists and the Southeastern Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies? That’s exactly the logic used by the commission of late, so you’re not alone. We’re still killing a bunch of turkeys every year, so it must be fine to keep killing a bunch of turkeys every year. — But poult production numbers are way down and people all over the state are complaining about declines in bird numbers? Nah, everything’s fine. We know there’s plenty because we just killed a yugo-ton of ‘em. [/QUOTE]
