Duck hunters had to do this for a while in the 1980s with the 1-bird daily limit.

Going to a season limit of two gobblers with a minimum beard length of 5 or 6 inches and making the season April 1-30 could do wonders. Just like with the 3-buck limit, we'd have scads more mature bucks and a healthier herd of turkeys.

It's for the good of the turkeys. Besides, who needs to kill more than two birds a season anyway? If it's truly about the experience and "being in Creation" and all, then two should be enough.


Yep, but why not 1-bird, on alternate years? Pretty soon we could have a turkey extravaganza. And I think we need an app to log any gobbles heard, you know, just so that we have more data. Data is good, right? Besides, it's easy!
