[QUOTE="BrokenArrow, post: 5614160, member: 5916"] With the impact of YouTube channels on Turkey Hunting as well as deer...the amount of hunting pressure on public lands has increased tremendously over the past 10 years from what I have experienced. 30 years ago we were just getting to hunt turkey where I'm from. My success rate has diminished in the last 5 or so years as the turkey population has been on a downward slope . I live next to a TN WMA and have noticed that not only are there more hunters but more hunters that seem to act like spoiled brats more than sportsmen. Too many are running around trying to become the next YouTube stars instead of being out there and enjoying the challenge of the sport In some ways I believe social media has had a negative impact on what its really all about. It has helped us to keep public lands from becoming developed at least. I agree that some of the WMA's might be better off as a quota hunt only for the first half of the season. There are far too many crowding and pressuring smaller areas and it's affecting hunting in a big way. On a final note....some of the newer generation just needs to grow up and stop acting like a bunch of schoolyard bullies and put the cameras down for a while. [/QUOTE]
