[QUOTE="th88, post: 5632538, member: 16217"] I didn't get to hunt TN this year due to the delay and other trips, but have been tracking the harvest data for public lands pretty closely. Looks like there will be a lot better carryover on public lands. [LIST] [*]The 1 bird first 2 week rule appeared to definitely alleviate substantial early harvest on WMAs. And total harvest on one WMA. [*]New WMA Draw hunts drastically reduced harvest on those WMAs. They should have made those new draws just for the month of April, and left it wide open in May. Too much loss of opportunity for locals!!! Definitely going to be great carryover on those WMAs. [*]Several WMAs in general down in harvest, but prior years harvest data shows there should have been plenty of 2 year olds. [/LIST] I believe a lot of non-residents chose to hunt KY public lands rather than TN's since they opened at same time. I also believe the early'ish green saved more public land birds. Interesting to see this play out, but it comes at a big cost. Loss of opportunity. [/QUOTE]
