One of the things that has bothered me about Chamberlain has been his hyperbole in describing the research findings. I listened to him on a Meateater podcast and he said that the turkeys gobbled way more on unhunted land than hunted land. I don't remember the adjectives he used, but he described a huge difference.

When SC gutted their season, they referred to that study as proof that they just had to limit hunting. But the chart they published showed a difference of around 11 gobbles per day on unhunted land to 9 gobbles a day on the hunted land. Does anyone really believe that an additional 2 gobbles per day will mean more poults on the ground? I don't, and that's just one example of Chamberlain hyperbole. I could mention several more, but it's pointless. Good hunting to everyone!
