I couldn’t recall.

I remember when it was 6. We had a “friend” down the road who would kill a limit by about lunchish on the 20th.

Limit changed to 5 well before the opening date was moved to the 15th.

I haven’t been turkey hunting near as long as most of you but it seems to me that if a later starting date really improved turkey numbers then Winston county would have the greatest population in the state. They have opened late a long time.

If they are worried enough to push back dates and lower the limits, then why not just make them harder to kill. You can believe what you want to about decoys but I see a lot of videos of birds killed every year that would’ve never been killed without the decoys set out or at least wouldn’t have been killed with the same set up.

I say outlaw decoys, especially reaping, stop shooting jakes and lower the limit to 3 gobblers with the option to turn in 10 trapped predators each for 1 more gobbler tag. 2 extra gobbler tags maximum.

Love his response, if the so called hunters would have more education and concern this State would have a better turkey as well as deer herd. Ignorance shows in all phases.

It was 6 in 1989. Stayed that way until somewhere in the mid to late 90’s I think.

Here is good study from South Carolina why the season starts when it does.

Average nest initiation April 9th. Average next incubation April 22nd. Gonna recommend a start date of April 10th.

Most of SC, latitude wise is about B’ham to the Tennesee line. A whole bunch of AL counties are further south in latitude. I would think about a third of AL has nest initiation dates earlier than April 9th. Maybe even some before April 1st.

It would be rough in the southern part of the state waiting to April 1st. Hunting in April around here is hot and gobbling is usually slow. Maybe that wouldn’t be the case if all the gobblers were still alive. All except for the hot weather part.

I doubt he will. He and Festus are too busy getting their knees dirty at the Alter of Chucky.
