I agree 100% no birds here.

Personally, I ditched the AHS when they hit me up BECAUSE of the mandatory GC -- I'm not going to duplicate my efforts on reporting my kills.

The APP is terrible, but if you go online to check your bird it's easy peazy.

Never had a problem with the app. But sounds like enough have to make it pretty useless.

looks like Jackson county is where they all at!! I know lawrence and winston sucked this year!! More hunters than turkeys!!

done

Ive been waiting to do all mine at the end of the season, is it ok to go ahead and do them now?

The website let me, so ... ya ... (assuming you're asking a serious Q, which may be a bad assumption... refer back to my song lyrics LOL)

Not sure if there's a time limit but since I couldn't get it to work on app, I ended up waiting a week on one of mine before going through the process online and had no issues

LOL ... 9,150 birds statewide. In Alabama.

What a f'king joke. Even at the stupendous 35% success rate and estimated 26K "harvest," that's still a joke.

Turkeys hide easier than deer.

I was thinking there was a time period and you had to write down the confirmation #. But I'm not a lawyer as it almost takes one to keep up with all the rules.

JDawg - There might be a time period but I did write down the date & confirmation number on that bottom part of license print out, figured if I had that on me surely not reporting it within XX hrs wouldn't cause me any grief (who knows though...)

48 hours to report turkeys, just like deer.

Lower limits and possibly shorter seasons next year. Wait and see

But ... but ... they said they would need to have several years of results and info and data before making decisions and changes.

I'd be willing to bet its next year. That will be chucky's pissy little way of getting back at turkey hunters who didn't check their turkeys. Everybody should have checked in 5 whether they actually killed any or not.

If they did then there's no way in Hades they could ever speak publicly again with any shred of integrity about needing several years of data before considering and recommending changes based on "harvest records." Because that's been the mantra all along about deer zones, doe days, North and South Zones, etc., with GC and such.

Remember, it's supposedly all about the data. Gotta have the data over 3-5 years' time to get a good look at anything before considering or making changes.

If any change(s) were recommended then it better have support of many years' worth of data, and then you're getting into that horribly unreliable and worthless post-season hunter survey method that's been cast into the dust bin of history.

Can't have it both ways. Either the survey was/is good to go by, or they'll need to wait 3-4 more years to collect more GC data.

Data!

I'm ready for the explanation

Integrity you say? Too late for me , Chucky already looked me in the eye and lied about never extending the season into Feb. in Jackson Co. Who needs data when you make back room deals?!
