Chad you are absolutely correct on all 8 of you assessments. I agree with everyone of them.

This wingnut is to dense to realize our season now is very similar to what Georgia has and has had for some time now. Even with a reduced limit their population has experienced a decline just like many other SE states. I do acknowledge that the state of Alabama moved our season ahead from the 20th to the 15th. However that still does not change the fact we are now closely following in the foot steps of a neighboring state with the same issue of a declining population. I’m still waiting to see the research that shows Alabama will have different results?

I’m like Outback. We have to many hunters and I’d venture to say those capable of killing more than 5 will do so. Our GW are understaffed and leave a lot to be desired in the area of game violation enforcement.

And DP1975 before you go spouting off at the mouth about how I’m whining about having season open at a later date because I can’t kill my limit any other time you sir will be badly mistaken with that assessment. I can assure you there are many highly successful turkey hunters on this forum that get it done year in and year out in this state and many others as well. Many of us just want to see the science behind the change instead of a feel good PR stunt that has taken place.
