It seems like the biologists are really pushing the theory that a later season is gonna be better for the turkeys, so all we can do is hope they are right. I haven't seen anything to convince me, but I don't have access to most of their research.

What I do know is that Lovett Williams thought a later season would do more harm than good. The more that hunters spook setting hens off the nests, the more nests will be abandoned. I have personally witnessed this, so I know it will happen. I haven't read of any concern about this lately.
