The Avid Hunter Survey may be the only thing we have for this season that is even remotely scientific. Congrats Chucky, on destroying a system that worked just fine for over 50 years. And fwiw, I reported all of mine on GC and also reported every hunt on the Avid Hunter system. 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 stupid app is a POS; I've already had an account created w/a conservation ID, etc. & when I tried to report, it kept wanting me to "CREATE NEW ACCOUNT"... So ... there's at least 1 missing from the #'s, F it...
And I work in the technology industry (software company), and not to be arrogant, but if I can't figure the damn thing out, I pity the guy who's not very tech-savvy... 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.

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.

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.

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!

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?!
