He also said the turkey season recommendation the CAB voted on was not recommended by the WWF biologists.
That's two people - him and Sykes - saying this season change proposal did not come from the department's biologists.
It's clearly being pushed by outside interests to the CAB.
Well, in the posted letter, it is obvious the guy has knowledge of things and his exact proposal was what was pitched to the CAB and discussed there. That doesn't mean the pushing is not coming from the Department, Chuck is not the only one that has discussions with the CAB, whether he likes the proposal or not. There are others in high enough positions with ears to talk to that may like lower limits and shorter seasons. I honestly don't know. In addition, there may be some pushing from Auburn? Don't know, just theorizing! Just to clarify, Matt said it was not recommended by the turkey committee. Every other WFF biologist may have talked to the CAB members and supported the reg changes. I know Matts story is sound as far as I have heard - the turkey committee was not part of the "push" for this regulation change.

I believe all this is being pushed by hunting lodges. In the Letter posted earlier, the "41yr Turkey Hunter" references his guiding of hunters and that BY OPENING ON THE THIRD SATURDAY, LODGES WOULD BE ABLE TO SAVE THE OPENER FOR A FULL WEEKEND FOR THEIR BEST CLIENTS.
Feb. 10th in the North Zone was approved because of DreamRanch and this turkey season change is for the benefit of all hunting lodges in the state. Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining.

But when the February deer season in North Alabama was approved it was clear that "what's best for the resource" isn't the top priority.
Exactly!

If you own a hunting lodge and your best clients only are able to go on the weekends, you won't be in business very long. Any reduction in opportunity or hunting days would not benefit a commercial operation

I'll bet good $ Chuck Sykes had full knowledge Ms. Butler was gonna make the two motions about bag limits and moving the opener to 3rd Saturday at her last CAB meeting . I''ll also bet he gave her the go ahead.

You have to decide who you think has the most influence in all of this... And we are supposed to believe that Chuck isn't on the side of wealth and influence?

Nope, not if you don’t want to but trust the fact that 2 employees are on here telling you what we know. Doing so on a public forum probably isn’t the best idea but here we are.

You need to send your concerns to Chuck, the commissioner, and the CAB.
But again, the changes were not proposed by DCNR.

Yep had nothing to do with deer numbers. More doing favors to get pockets lined with cash or other exclusive benefits.

You have to decide who you think has the most influence in all of this... Unfortunately, people like Ainsworth, high-fence owners with money, upper-crust with money, legislators, people with money who put pressure on legislators and the DCNR for their agendas, people in organizations with acroynm names and federations. People like the senator in Shooter, instead of all of the peckerwoods in the hills. Joe Peckerwood needs to make more noise and exert more of the Common Man influence that he can, instead of shrugging and giving up.
