"Regional start date idea isn't about making people happy
It's about helping the resource without being pounded all at once. Think South Florida
Tell me how that could be BAD for the resource?"
I have a hard time taking your posts serious. You advocate for making all turkey hunting start at the same time to better manage and help the birds to take pressure off them. Then you come to South Florida, hunt public land, before your home area or state opens. Practice what you preach, young man. If not, it's nothing more than hypocrisy.
Yep I sure did! And if the season was more aligned I wouldn't have! And that bird would've been saved
Because I ONLY did it because it's the ONLY thing open
Which is exactly my point!!! Align some season that that won't happen near as much!!
Or if it mattered to me to hunt south Florida I'd sacrifice hunting home and come anyway. Yet, the vast majority won't!'
I play the hand I'm dealt, I don't throw my cards away. Hence I didn't come for the 18th or later. I can't change the world on my own.
People will align their priorities, mine are to hunt as much as I can. No matter what state!! I hunt for days, could care less about the state I'm in unless I reach a limit first. If im not working I'm hunting, simple as that.
I'm glad you can read into a "what y'all think about this" and turn it into I said "my god ppl quit traveling and hunting!!!!"
Besides, why worry about me. I'm not a real turkey hunter so I hear
However thank you florida for giving me some extra hunt time! It was nice
No matter if I go or stay, the same amount of people would've hunted where I did. And who said I was on public land?

Where did I say you said people shouldn't travel? You used South Florida as a specific reference in this thread and pressure being taken off if everyone's season opened at the same time and that is what I specifically called you out on. In your blackbird thread you said you got your butt kicked on public so a natural assumption would that at some point you hunted public in South Florida.
Why should South Florida have to wait to hunt to align with other states? If you actually truly understood South Florida you would understand its unique habit and hunting seasons that open to align with the unique habit, both deer and turkey. Why do they open way earlier than every state for turkey? Why do they open deer season in late July as the deer are rutting? I'll give you a hint, it has to do with historical water levels when the young would be born to ensure highest survival rates of fawns and chicks.
You insinuated I shouldn't come down there since I obviously brought up concern about how it gets hammered. Also romp and stomp public was attempted years ago yes. It also opened my eyes to the crowds you people deal with. Unreal. I also realized how bad guys down there have it if they themselves want to go hunt other places. Their drive is very far before getting to the state line.
And I used south Florida as an example because it's by far the earliest opener and probably the most impacted dude to how much earlier it is than anywhere else. I could use Mississippi also but it's not such a dramatic early opener.
And if you have info to provide that's valuable add it . Such at water levels being a reason. No need to go off on tangents over a forum discussion.
You people act like I have the power to change the season and will next year, and take y'all's hunting away.
It is a thread for ideas to ponder. Yet I see nobody really has one other than saying how bad someone else's is.
