Imagine the mast crop from a forest full of trees that size!Check out the pic at the top of the page in this link.

Quote from: eggshell on June 20, 2023, 07:40:12 AMI'll add another thought to consider. The forum members of Old Gobbler are a huge minority in the general hunting public. If any agency is looking at majority constituent opinions, ours is insignificant as a group. So our bitching carries very little weight. Sure many share in our various ideas, but in the end the general public wants a hunt that is as easy and slanted to their advantage as possible. It's the self gratifying philosophy of the day....

It's the self gratifying philosophy of the day....Exactly. At the end of the day, wild turkey managers are tasked with the responsibility of sorting through all of the opinions and desires of that entire constituency and making management decisions that attempt to conform with what they assess to be an overall consensus (that has some biological validity),...while at the same time balancing that with the primary management mandate of protecting the resource. I'm fairly certain that the "overall consensus" of that casual-turkey-hunting majority probably doesn't match up closely with the desires of many of us here on OG.
