I wish folks would get as worried about predation and bushhogs and disease and habitat as they are about the limit. We'd have more turkeys in this state than we'd know what to do with and be able to hunt them from February 1 to June 1 AMEN

I'd settle for March 1st to May 15th March 1st absolutely should be opening day for a sizable zone in South AL. If it doesn't change soon, I'll be disappointed. I'd like to be able to compete with the locals who can't read a calendar - and get to hunt the best gobbling around here by far. But that later season hunting doesn't interest me at all. Heck, we could have some poults running around gobbling by June 1st this year - been hatched out for a while here.

130 killed in Washington CO. is the biggest joke I see on that whole list.

Mayhem calls only accounted for about 40 birds this year but that wasn't only in Washington CO.

I have a feeling they will shorten the season and/or lower the limit. The reason Tennessee just reported their results which is around 33,000 so far. They said regardless of what people think of the turkey population numbers don't lie and they have already killed more than last year. If people don't start reporting birds in Bama they will make changes based on what numbers they have even if it's not correct. Just my gut feeling.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

I don't really know that lowering the limit is gonna do that much to lower the number of turkeys actually killed in the state of AL each spring

According to the #'s checked in Dallas County was second in the state after Jackson County. I guess we just have more law abiding citizens because I know we don't have more turkeys than other counties. Our population is way off.
