Kansas is again proposing a closure of the fall season and
wanting to drop to 1 spring tag for several units.

Staff recommend removing the option of a Game Tag in Units 3, 5, and 6 for spring 2020 (April 1-May 31) and recommend suspending the fall turkey season in Units 3, 5, and 6 for 2020 (October 1, 2020-January 31, 2021).


Whoa!  That's huge they are recommending one tag for Units 3,5, and 6.  Link?

They had a meeting on the 15th. The biologist wants to reduce harvest. The head of commission wants to change how they manage.

Go to the 3rd video about 1 hr and 50 minutes in.

They had a workshop on the 19th. They have rural mail carriers observe both turkeys and reproduction. This year was the lowest reproduction ever recorded.

The problem is human beings.  What they do and what they won't.  It was a great ride, until it wasn't.
"[T]he changing environment will someday be totally and irrevocably unsuitable for the wild turkey.  Unless mankind precedes the birds in extinction, we probably will not be hunting turkeys for too much longer."  Ken Morgan, "Turkey Hunting, A One Man Game
