......discussed dropping the limit on turkeys to 2 and shortening the season yesterday.

I had expected it to go to 3 before 2. Oh well. Game Check says we don't have any turkeys

Stupidity. The unbridled kind.

You expected something different? I bet whatever they do it'll be state wide , yep, unbridled alright.

reckon what dumbass came up with the number two???

This ^^^ is dumber than gamecheck, and I thought that was impossible.

Nope. A motion was made to lower the limit to 4, but was voted down. They did, however, vote to open the season on the 3rd Saturday of March instead of the 15th.

Your representative did say, in an open forum, that y'all had turkeys running out your ears up there.

It'll be punishment for not using GC.

Yep,but I would like to continue encouraging all these folks to keep checking their birds in as Jackson county kills,it's gonna help us in the long run!!

Guess I'll be an outlaw

Chuckie was always gonna punish hunters for not making GC a big success. The irony will be that the only ones affected by whatever he does will be the few of us who actually follow his regulations. Everyone else will carry on as always.

It's kinda like a preacher who fusses at the church because attendance is down. The only people who hear his rants are the ones who are still coming. I've observed that the few still coming will often quit when that starts happening.

So no discussion about 2 or 3 ? But did vote on 4, but was voted down . Well they still have time.

Yep, they're behind every tree and easy to kill too!

No discussion on 2. Did vote on 4. Their reasoning is to try to get folks use to a lower limit. They're thinking that the Auburn study is gonna recommend a 3 bird limit, but won't be completed for a couple of years. They said that they wanted to be "proactive" on the declining numbers.

So just keep on keeping on is what you saying?

Be interesting to see what AU says bout Jackson Co. They should know the turkeys on Skyline well, they've been studying them since the early 80's.

Wasn't something like 13,000 turkeys harvested statewide. That surely doesnt seem like a high number?????

I’ve never read anything in the Bible about turkey limits!

Not saying anything except punishing the ones who obey the regs because others don't obey the regs is only gonna make more people ignore the regs.

I don't know if there is a genuine biological need to reduce the limit or not. I just don't think many of us trust the current administration to make decisions based on science instead of politics.

Nothing this state does is based on science anyway PCP

Dang straight PCP.
