Hunting pressure has not significantly increased in every area of AL in the past 30 years. Some areas - yes - I understand that.
But consider this - there’s a point where all factors of turkey hunting come together- with small parcels of land with fragmentation and rural human populations - that the limit one hunter can kill - doesn’t matter if it’s 1 bird, or 1 million. A turkey limit changes nothing.
I understand you scenario and happened with deer hunters and doe killing like hogwild pointed out.
Wildlife managers have a tough task of balancing hunter sentiment and wildlife numbers. I enjoyed watching the Express Boat series on duck hunting. Larry made some very astute conversations.
I will say historic areas with good turkey numbers seem to be falling and areas that never had turkeys are now experiencing good hunt-able numbers.
So from an overall viewpoint what’s the difference overall.
