General Forum / Re: State Bag Limits- Too Many...

Last post by appalachianassassin - Today at 04:54:23 AM

In my zip code, I have witnessed the turkey population spike up and down twice in the 29 years I've been hunting them. Last season I self imposed a limit of 1 in east TN. Let several go late season after I got off the road. There were several Jakes last spring and this year there is a pile of gobblers. 13 in 1 group. So yeah, I'll happily take the limit this season. Turkey populations vary and can go from pitiful to over run in just a few years.

Agree, very cyclical and compounding population changes can happen quickly with the right/wrong conditions in both good direction and bad.

Nothing wrong with self imposed limits if one believes in it. Personally I don't think the harvest is hardly measurable on the population swings but who really knows.

Im not sure if hunters have an impact or not. Either way, I wish not to be part of the problem. That, and I prefer adventure hunts anyway.

I have a lot of respect for the people here for their kindness, generosity and the knowledge they share.
Some that standout are: Greg Massey, Tom007, Gobblenut, and EZ.
Let's not forget Shannon Kelly and his wife for the work they do to maintain this Forum.
It would be remiss of me not to mention Crow, Tal and most certainly ChiefBubba.
Thank you all!

Do you believe predators could be part of the problem? Humans are predators. How come areas you hunt, often right near where we are ,always have at least one property, the one with the no hunting signs, saturated with turkey and deer. If its local everything else us the same. 
Might be obvious to think thats where they just got pushed to but if everything else was the same the flocks, herds ought to diminish. They dont.
Something to think about.
Now understand dead is dead no matter how theyre killed. We have to have an affect I'd think

Capt Pete, I live in TN. Are you interested in hiking to see waterfalls? If so, let me know and I'll give you some spots.
Also, the tour of the Jack Daniels distillery is pretty cool!! 😎
