The horse allowed the use of decoys, youth season and hunters came up with loads to make 80 yd shotguns. The odds have been tipped in the hunters favor in the last decade. Then add in predators and hogs thriving populations. It's a wonder we have any turkeys left a day or 3 shorter season should not hurt to much.

Ya'll get too upset over little things.
Dates are just numbers on a calendar page. Go hunting.

With that reasoning they will do away with spring season all together and go back to fall hunting like the old days.

Glad someone mentioned nest raiders and predators being an issue, They take out more of the population and hinder breeding more than we ever could. Their in the woods 24/7/365.

Not the end of the world. Used to open on March 20 and end of April 25. Will have 7 weekends to hunt in 2020. Not too shabby IMO.

I have all the weeks I want. Since they put an indignant asshole over the wildlife section, I have zero respect for the rules anymore. I just do whateverthehell I please, wheneverthehell I please.

I guess im the only one that actually likes the change. Normally turkeys haven't started yet until around the 20th and so many get killed and have heard every call in the world before they ever open there mouth.

When I predominantly hunted north of I-20, the best week was the first week of April sometimes. Living and hunting south of Hwy 80, south of the Black Belt, and it’s drastically different. March 15th was just about right down here, if not a little late. These birds are cranked up and acting like turkey by March 1 every year.

Pushing the season back here is completely unnecessary. And adding days for us in May is pointless.

There isn't any. And that's why you havent seen it.................... if they had anything at all supporting their position, it would have been published and made public at the same time they announced the season change. It's your typical, "well I think it might have an impact so let's change it and see what happens."

I understand what you are saying, but to delay the opener until the turkeys “get right” would be the same as telling deer hunters we aren’t opening deer season until the rut. Regardless of whether the turkeys are gobbling or “right” we still like to get out and play the game. And we can’t do that if the season is delayed.

Mine gobbled a whole lot better on the roost the last two weeks of deer season than they did once turkey season opened.
