Why...unless you don't have the birds to support the five limit... I'm happy with it and see no reason to change it where I'm hunting... If it can support the killers we have....the population is doing fine... But it may be different in other places...

Be fine by me I never kill but a couple anyway then start taking others. Dead birds don't gobble and I like hearing them gobble.

I've held to a three bird limit for prolly the last 20 years. I usually carry more folks that kill than I do....sometimes a LOT more. LOL


I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

No biological reason for it at all, but it would make some folks feel better, so I think its likely to happen. As already noted, it won't effect but a few hunters. Troy has told us many times that nearly all hunters that are able to kill more than 5 will kill more than 5. Change that to 3 and it will be just as true.

I've asked several different DCNR people if they would release the info from the annual hunter survey and tell us how many people actually kill a limit of 5 now. Nobody will tell me the answer to that question. I suspect that the number is extremely low and would make it obvious that the season limit is simply a moot point as far as any impact on the population.

I think I picked a good time to get old.

Limits don't mean anything to an outlaw. I've only killed over 3 birds in one season only 5 times in my life so I'd be OK with it. I definitely feel we have less turkeys now than we did 10 years ago. More hunters + more predators = less turkeys.

Unless a check-in system becomes mandatory with a tag or confirmation number AND the game wardens do something about catching someone over the limit, it won't make a toot's difference.

If it's to be changed, SHOW the actual biological proof for it and the justification instead of some "oh, it'll be good for everyone." Otherwise, don't change it.

I've heard some talk of this coming. I would hope that this wouldn't be imposed on the entire state. Like PCP, I would love to see the biological evidence that supports a decision like that.

Might make it easier for some to get a limit. Ha


Do you want to hear him gobble, or do you want to kill him.

Common sense posts like that are the reason Clem will always be the most powerful man on aldeer. smile

Clem, I hope you will pass your views to TPTB. They pay no attention to me, but all will be too fearful to ignore you.

Clem, we (the field wardens) put in for a tagging system everydamnyear and it went in the circular file everydamnyear.

the thing is when they cut down to three then next down to two then down to no season for turkey period. IF WE LET THE STATE CONTROL EVERY THING THEN IT IS OUR FAULT AND NOT THE STATES

Oh my word. Nobody is going to take anyone's turkey hunting away from them. There is evidence to support a reduction in the bag in places, and not others. There is an overall trend in ALL southeastern states that is showing considerable declines in some areas. All state agencies are trying to determine the reasons behind the declines. There is a lot of research going into this and hopefully some answers to come in the future, but don't worry about your turkey limit. It's ok for now.
