I stopped last Spring  of 2025 at 2 Gobblers in New Jersey to concentrate on New York more and help my Partner get her Gobbler.
    I still think New Jersey should have a Max Spring Limit of 5 Gobblers.
  I know there is a Small group that knowing all the regs,Lightening Fingers during the early minutes of the" Over The Counter" day in March and just plenty of Time,Money, and most likely hunting both Private + Public-- are able to kill 8- 10+ Gobblers a Season- probably  more as the upper limit is 25+ Spring Turkey Tags.
  Problem is this small group grows each Spring . 5 Max in such as small State as New Jersey.  That is plenty enough.
 

I think a limit of 2 would be fine. Obviously it would help dwindling populations. This winter here will certainly affect Northern NJ, minus temps, frozen snow on the ground for months could be a problem, stay tuned. IMO

People have came around to the modern day braggart turkey hunter with a camera in his face. 
But it's too late now. 
You guys who embraced this keep sending Dave pictures of your bottomland thong and little THP Ted fantasy love letters. 
You may as well embrace what has happened. 


You want to see if you are turkey hunting for the right reason? Go kill a gobbler and tell no one.  If the thrill is the same as telling people, you are doing what you love for the right reason. 
If you have to tell people to get a dopamine release, then you're part of the problem. 


The truth hurts sometimes.

I gave away my Cody world class pot calls that I had (some of his very first he made) to a local church for a wild game supper for door prizes. It was the church - so it is not so much that I want them back - but I do think about what they are worth today.

I let friends talk me out of many of my Lonnie Mabry calls - and only have six of his calls today and wish I had thought that out a little better as well.

I live just 45 minutes from Billy Buice's door and never got a trumpet from him. I guess hindsight is always 20/20 but that sure was a blind man move. To my defense, I did not really get into air drawn stuff until 5-6 years ago. But still....I must have been drunk and did not even know it.

Thanks Tom007 - I will probably think about this - especially the Buice deal the rest of the day.  :-)

Baiting, TSS, and youtube, has taken its toll on turkeys, more than any other factors. Anyone who cannot realize that, has no ability to reason.  My personal self imposed limit, is 4 longbeards, Spring and Fall combined. I eat everything on them, and 4 will carry me thru a year, Although I have turkeys on my own land, as well as neighbors, my satisfaction has always come from killing on public ground. No self respecting turkey hunter would kill his own turkeys, at least in the circle I run in

so now youre not a self respecting turkey hunter if you harvest turkeys out of the population on the ground you own lol

you guys always make solid points then go back and say the dumbest "look at me im a old school pro" comment ive ever heard. 


what is this your 3rd or 4th account on here?

can you write out the old swamper pro turkey man pelican lalongbeard rules of engangement?

I WANNA BE A PRO TOO GUYS PLEASE WRITE THE RULES OUT FOR ME.

pat yourself on the back a little harder please

Anyone of his boxes are deadly. He has so much knowledge and experience, every one that he puts out is tuned to perfection.

I have many calls I can get rasp out of. When I'm using the trumpet I'm after those sweet clear notes.
