Well, you are correct!

And yet we accept you! How weird is that?
I predict that the heaviest bird shot this year by a team member will fall in front of jakesdad's 20 gauge. Not too bad for an outsider, huh?   :groupwave:

No a bad thing. Means you will probably shoot a Turkey bigger than a small Jake like the Southern Toms. ;D

I may shoot the heaviest..............if I can find one.Probably wont be that bad,but the last few springs have been REALLY bad on the hatches in MO,especially in the NE part of the state where I live.But I guess I shouldnt complain,our lean years are probably better than some states peak ones.Would be nice to shoot more than 2 birds like some of southern boys get to do!!

I hear ya on the tags. I hunt Kansas and Iowa for a total of 4 tags, while in Alabama they get 5. However, I don't think our states in Kansas, Missouri, Iowa could handle an Alabama quota. Maybe 3, but not 5.

We may have a 5 bird limit, but I on average kill 1 or 2 a year. I have to hunt public land mostly, so that makes it tough.

I don't think there could be anything tougher. All the WMA's I hunt get hammered every day of the week.
