Pcp. The numbers listed are not how many turkeys the guys who killed 5 took. It’s how many hunters killed 5,4,3, etc. so 178 hunters actually took 890 birds.
That's what I was trying to figure out. In 2017 it breaks down like this:
3184 total birds were killed by hunters who reported killing just 1 bird
2196 total birds were killed by hunters who reported killing 2 birds (2x1098 hunters)
1365 ----------------------------------------------------------------------3 birds (3x455 hunters)
888------------------------------------------------------------------------4 birds (4x222 hunters)
615------------------------------------------------------------------------5 birds (5x123 hunters)
8248 total birds reported in 2017
They say 8266 total harvest without IRV (whatever that is) so I'm not sure why the numbers don't add up. So does this mean that if the limit had been 3 birds in 2017, would there have been 1503 (888+615) extra gobblers in 2018?
