[QUOTE="deerfever, post: 5516036, member: 13434"] I don't think anyone on this site who disagrees with the two week delay is about just the " killing", no one is going to do much killing anyway with a two bird limit . I think people on this site have difference of opinion as well as many turkey hunters across this state. The way I see it the study of 5 counties for 5 years is more proof that a delay does nothing for reproductive success than anyone has offered up to prove the validity of the two week delay and dominant gobbler theory helping reproductive success . Where is the proof that it helps anything? Arkansas? LBL(delayed opener for many years). It will stop non residents from flocking here but do not make residents wait for that reason, have a quota on public land for non residents or I am guessing TN could probably say the first week is private land only for non residents. Worried about decoys again follow Alabama's lead no decoys for first 10 days, I don't use them but to each his own. To me the study ,all the pictures of huge flocks of turkeys here on this site , the talk of great hatches this year ,and all the success our state has had for the past 22 years is all I need to convince me nothing was wrong with our opener. Remember don't give TWRA credit for the change the agency didn't recommend any changes(again correct me if wrong). Your changes come from commission who argue every year wether or not people know what a Jake is? Yep, I trust that group to make sound decisions. Lol, We are all the same side here. Get to trapping and realize it's ok to have a difference of opinion on the opener. I would much rather hunt the first two weeks of April than the last two of May since there has been no proven benefits of a delay for our turkeys, It's that simple for me. [/QUOTE]
