I am new to social media. I just got involved in instagram and facebook for business reasons. The amount of turkey hunters that kill in non conventional ways was alarming to me. Crawling and bushwhacking, hunting from shooting houses, fanning gobblers… I know folks should be able to hunt how they want, but no one can deny that the methods used to kill turkeys are changing drastically. I think the bag limits for all hunters, in state and out of state, will probably have to change as well to adjust to these methods.


Agreed. I often wonder how many less turkeys, deer, ducks, fish, etc would be killed if it was illegal to post on social media. I think it would be a very substantial. A MAJOR motivation for the younger crowd is getting that instagram grip n grin.
