Based on the people I know that started Turkey hunting in the last 10 years.....
a ban on hunting out of a ground blind or using a decoy would pretty well eliminate 90% of those people's chances at ever killing a bird. Harvest numbers instantly cut in 1/3 or maybe 1/2.
That’d be awesome, baiting would sky rocket
If that’s the case then it’d be counter intuitive. You’d lose even more birds to aflotoxin from people feeding them. And if you banned ground blinds then you lose the opportunity to take young hunters that can’t sit still
If a kid needs a blind maybe he isn't old enough to be hunting.
Or maybe you start out easy in a ground blind and end up with a hard-core, traveling turkey hunter that doesn't need a blind ...
