[QUOTE="poorhunter, post: 5102713, member: 16537"] Deerfever, I am not bashing anyone (or TWRA) or upset or complaining or any such thing. I am also not going to say TWRA has not tried their level best, but nor am I saying they’ve done the best job with turkeys. There has been a big decline in poult production for years that they have known about and while they did lower the limit for this year it may be too little too late for some areas. The bag limits and season length are not just rules to follow but they also say something to hunters. Liberal limits and seasons say that there is an unlimited resource, and while this was true statewide 5-10 years ago there are way too many hunters reporting otherwise, on top of the brood surveys that say something is happening and it’s drastic. I agree with studies but in the meantime there should be measures put in place to protect the resource IMO. [/QUOTE]
