Really? The post was from like 930 this morning. Yep. The maps have been out a long time. The rules are on the back of the map. That's why you're supposed to sign the map.
83% of all statistics are made up.

Given the serious issues with declining populations here and the Southeast, reducing the bag limit to three, mandatory tagging on the birds (create your own tag) and reporting via GameCheck, and shortening the season by 10 days wouldn't bother me a bit.

Is this a factual research based biological plan? Can you post a link?

The ones that just shoot 3 are more than made up for by the killers who shoot 8 or 9. Just saying. Limits only apply to honest hunters anyway. Honest turkey hunters. That got to be an oxymoron.

Clem, what are some of the factors you think are responsible for the decline? Some kind of avian disease. Some kind of pesticide or combo of them. Cyclical reproduction and recruitment (getting poults to age 2+) Predation on poults in down cycle periods - partly due to a decline in trapping and predator hunting in general (raccoons, bobcats, possums, hogs, coyotes) The people who kill 8 or 9 birds in a season in their state (over the limit) Possibly a combination of all of those, or combo of some of them. We've had posts/threads in this forum with good turkey hunters talking about how they're not seeing birds. Not that they're not having bad seasons, but legitimately not seeing and hearing as many birds as in the past. State biologists in the Southeast have been discussing and looking at this for several years and, to my knowledge, cannot pinpoint one specific problem as "Yep, that seems to be it." Perhaps it's just a long-term cycle. Dunno. But something's going on. I had lunch today with a friend from Arkansas who said they're seeing similar issues there. Still killing birds but a lot of hunters are puzzled at what they believe is a problem, and it's perplexing.

Additionally, doing what the DCNR is doing with this reduction on WMAs is better IMO than a blanket deal statewide. They control the WMAs and can use the data and info from them as a gauge of what's going on.
We say that about deer, right? "Do this on WMAs but not on my land." So, that's what they're doing.
Sucks for the public land guy, though, and I get that.
