I'm an not in favor of shortening the season or decreasing limits, but thinking very simplistic if less birds are killed there will be more to hunt next year. This would be accomplished by lowering the limit, and/or shortening the season. If we killed all the gobblers each spring we would only have jakes to hunt each season.
It MAY be accomplished by a VERY short season. Population increases will NOT ultimately be accomplished by lowering the limit.
