You seem to really like my map don’t you……Here’s what I cant get past about your opinion on it Gobbler. You could say that you need hunter hours this and that and yes that would be good to add to the mix.....but even without any other information what the map IS showing pretty accurately is simply the total numbers of gobblers coming out of each county whether 25 hunters killed them or 100…… ……My question is this……If you say these counties in red and grey arent having a turkey issue, then who is???.....Because many of these other counties in yellow and especially green have nearly twice as many gobblers being killed and reported to game check...in some cases more than double of the red ones. Say what you want to about it but someone called those birds in as being killed in Coosa Co….. and Jackson Co…..and Cherokee Co……and Henry Co…..and Dale…..and Franklin Co….and Calhoun Co……etc etc……So where is the turkey issue occurring then if its not in the red/grey counties that arent reporting as many gobblers killed??..... If you say the reason those red and grey counties arent reporting as many is because hunter density is just low and they have a bunch of left over gobblers that arent being killed, then why is the bag limit being reduced? Who is this for? Is it for the green counties that are killing the most birds?? Help me understand who these changes are for.

Also, I’ve been reading the study you posted in the other thread……If the idea that moving the opening of the season back were the solution, then wouldn’t we see the southern third of the state thriving the most right now in comparison to everyone else since their breeding starts the earliest of anyone???…….yet many of those counties are reporting the fewest amount of birds being killed per acre……How does that make sense?.....I'm sure you'll just say "The map doesnt mean anything!!!!".......Ok.....Righhhhht.
