Yeah, I agree with you on that. I have reported every turkey I've killed since they started GC, and I got hunter surveys twice when they were using that system, and always reported my 5. If you wanna cheat the system, report MORE than what you killed, not less. smile

I have no idea how many are already hunting, but I am very sure that it's higher than ever. A guy at a retail store just told me about a friend of his who already has 3. And the more land folks control, the less likely it is they will get caught.

All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
