Paragraphs are your friend.
Lovett Williams used to have a forum on Old Gobbler where he answered questions from hunters and discussed most any issue related to the wild turkey. It was on that forum that he discussed how he was concerned that a later season would do more harm than good. None of the readers at the time had the nerve to tell him it was a "rediculous" idea.
I've personally bumped a hen off a nest when hunting in GA in May. There was already a full clutch of eggs and she didn't return that day or the next, so I have always suspected that I ruined that one. Williams said this happens frequently and he had the research to prove it. I honestly don't feel qualified to say, but he had the reputation of somebody who should know.
I love it when someone uses the line that if we don't embrace every proposed change to a system that has worked great for 60 years, then we just don't love the wild turkey. Sheesh
Do you think that she renested? No idea This is why I’ve always been against large scale, late season burning. I agree, especially since you said "large scale." Mr. Sykes addressed that issue in his last column in the Co-op magazine. He essentially said that they knew that they were destroying nests, but the improvement in habitat was worth the sacrifice..I have done May burns on blocks of less than 100 acres and thought it was worth it. But there has to be a size at which the sacrifice is too much. Got an opinion on what that might be?
All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
