I know turkey hunters may not like this one, but after seeing how fast gobblers get killed in spring a change needs to be made. Maybe have fall turkey season while it is colder, especially on public land and limit numbers. Close the spring season down unless population control is needed. When those gobblers start gobbling you know exactly where they are from a mile away. Almost impossible to keep them alive. If deer made a sound that loud in the rut they would all be dead.
Say what!?!?
I hope you're joking.
Take away my spring turkey season and you might as well shoot me!
There are very few truly magnificent things left, in this world, and killing a strutter is one of them!
