I listened to him on a podcast the other day and something he said really stuck out to me. He stated, I am a turkey hunter, and I am all for being in the woods and getting to hunt as much as anybody else.
But you have to be smart with the resource and make sure that it sustained. All of you guys with young kids that you take hunting. Don't you want them to be able to enjoy hunting as much as you?
I think what he says makes a lot of sense. No one wants to lose days in the woods, me included, but if missing a week now insures that I get a 4-5 week season in the future, and my kids will get to chase turkeys 10-20 years from now, then I'm willing to do my part.
Last thing I read was that Alabama was looking at opening day on April 1 and pushing it into the first weekend in May.
Nothing ever comes back from progressive changes. Ever.
It’s just an opinion at this point - we all have opinions.
I want my 3 boys to enjoy turkey hunting also, but for the southern 1/3 of AL, enjoying chasing turkey means hunting in March - period.
