[QUOTE="Bullfrog, post: 5521638, member: 6210"] Alot of it boils down to pressure, plain and simple, imo. Pressure from predators and people, both. We trap on our place, but it's only a drop in the bucket, percentage wise. When it comes to pressure from people, I know an area where almost every 2 yr old gets killed the first couple weeks of season every year. It's in a spot that they go to, and there are about 10 people who know it. Then it comes down to the decoy hunters that couldn't kill a turkey if their life depended on it, without it, but they're gonna kill their 3 or 4 no matter what. They don't care about the turkey...they care about the killing. Someone above mentioned LBL. One of the LEO's told me that they regularly write over 100 tickets per year to folks hunting before season opens up over there. More turkeys is more turkeys, anyway you look at it. Control what you can control. If that means 2 turkeys and 2 weeks later opening, so be it. [/QUOTE]
