Well there you go it ain't that they can't it's they dont or won't control.

they can be controled

Sounds like some anti hunting propoganda.

You need to roll that around in your head a little more. You pretty much just proved what I’ve been saying for the sake of a one liner. You want to constrain turkey season and limit harvest. Seems like you trap hogs - and we agree with that plan.

Unwanted species vs native species with a hunting heritage that runs deep around here.

Had fits with them when I lived in Louisiana, feel so blessed to not have any (YET) here in the Childersburg area where our lease is now. Hoping not too see any when I move over to our new home in the Wilsonville/Columbiana area within the next 2 weeks.

In Louisiana they were so thick that we killed all we could plus paid a guy to set up the remote traps, heard 'em up and kill 'em. We paid him $5.00 a head.... he loved it and made gas money.

I live in Louisiana, and they are bad here north of Baton Rouge. I have spent quite a bit of time in that Childersburg/Sylacauga general area on the Pinhoti trail. Beautiful area. I hope you never see a hog there.

No sir I want more Turkeys, I want what turkey hunting used to be so the kids growing up now wont have to listen to us say we used to hear 10 turkeys a morning when they only hear 1. I dont beleive I have ever stated I wanted to constrain a season or limit harvest. But I dont whine when they change the season dates and claim they stole days from me. I am for whatever actually helps turkey populations and am open to what experts say. I am no expert and experts may be proven wrong over time, if so I will be the first to state whatever they tried failed and be happy to see a next option tried until we get it to something that solves the population problem.

Ben, I think waiting on the state to get it right is a big mistake. The way they manage theyll always be behind the curve. Just the way it is .

Do what you thing is right on your land. People can try and make it as complicated as they want but really it's common sense.

Got that and understand the common sense opinions and dont disagree but also dont fault the "experts " for trying. The common sense methods are difficult for a bunch of people. Just because I have the time and ability to trap and feed and plant does not mean the next 10 land owners around me do so even doing all I can do may not be enough, so maybe the states experiments will pay off in some fashion to help out. Thats my hope at least.
