[QUOTE="MidTennFisher, post: 5834131, member: 11842"] At first I thought it made a lot of sense and we've been pushing for the same thing here. Now I'm starting to doubt as I've read more, especially on here, about it really not having much effect on breeding success. Here our statewide poult recruitment is 22%, pretty poor. In a study site known as the SRS (Savannah River Site) they are getting about 35%. So that tells me that with no hunting at all we still aren't hitting optimal numbers and that our hunting isn't having much of an effect. There is no predator control, no burning, no habitat improvement at this site. Nothing. Just no hunting. So from that I really can't conclude that delaying the opener is going to have much of an effect. But the later start date will keep a lot of NC hunters out of here, so I'm cool with that. Being the state with the earliest opener in a region is never good. Too much OOS pressure. [/QUOTE]
