Hunting pressure

[2flyfish4]

Seasons are starting to wind down. Did anyone notice a decline in hunting pressure this year?

Especially in the states that have reduced the bag limit and or reduced  tag availability or increased license fees?

I'm from Illinois and I felt that the pressure increased on public ground. I also felt we had a decrease in population density for the turkeys.

Covered up with hunters in South Carolina this year,They were everywhere you went all turkey season.

Way more hunters in Missouri and Arkansas in the places I always hunt.

There seems to be more hunters everywhere you go.  Florida public land was absolutely covered up with out of staters this spring.  I believe the reduced limits are forcing guys that really like to hunt to travel to be able to get in more quality hunts. And unless states put a restriction on OOS hunters like Mississippi did, it's probably going to get worse as a good majority of the states have or are looking at reducing the limit.
