[QUOTE="deerfever, post: 5102031, member: 13434"] W We have already killed over 30,000 birds again this year just like we have every year since 2000. ( Exception 2018) TWRA cut the limit to 3 this season and took away bonus birds. If they are doing such a bad job how have we had a steady harvest for 21 years? They also opened certain counties later and are doing a turkey study that is not yet complete in those areas to determine in which direction to move. Some of those counties are tops in harvest in the state right now.
