[QUOTE="th88, post: 5534657, member: 16217"] Can you post the data that shows raising the limit sent TN into turkey decline? I'm fairly well versed in turkey literature and other than a theory that is slowly drifting out of the spotlight, and a dated study from MO that isn't even really relevant, i'm not aware of "all the data" you are referring to. Lots of the recent data shows what many of us have said all along. Predation. That being said, 4 is a heck of a lot of turkey to take in a single state and I'm fine with limit being dropped to three even though it won't make a difference. It is just "spreading the wealth". Dropping the limit to 2 saves a few more turkey than going from 4 to 3, but in the grand scheme of things on a landscape/statewide level, won't solve the turkey issue states are facing. On certain properties it could certainly help with mature bird carryover. But that is assuming a hunter doesn't take people after they kill their two, someone else doesn't kill what would have been their number 3, the gobbler doesn't die from natural causes before next spring, etc. [/QUOTE]
