[QUOTE="MidTennFisher, post: 5719561, member: 11842"] Where was the study based? Was it a state that historically has had a later opener or a state that delayed their opener at least 7 years ago? Hey I'd love to hunt in cooler weather and all of us would love turkey season to open sooner after small game season ends. But something surely has to change because all the Southeastern states are in bad shape with turkey numbers. The basic gist of the argument to delay opener is that we're killing way too many gobblers before the peak of nest initiation. If we delayed that, there would be a lot more eggs on the ground in April. I'm inclined to believe that is a correct assumption [/QUOTE]
