I personally am opposed to closing the season at noon. When I was a GW I worked mostly mornings, had to hunt a lot in afternoons/evenings. Lots of folks in that position.
With the way they manipulate the time now, there are a whole lot of people that can only hunt in the afternoon. It would be terribly unfair to them to knock them out of hunting completely.
A guy that is in a position to know what is going on at the state level as much as anyone told me that turkeys seem to be doing very well on private land; it's public land that is having issues. Why don't they just adjust the seasons on the wma and other public land and leave everyone else alone? I have never seen as many turkeys as I've seen this summer. I can't step out into my yard without scaring a turkey.
I’m also opposed to stopping hunting at noon for the reasons mentioned above.
