It would fine with me on making visual aids illegal.Some regulations changes that I would like to see considered before we start shortening seasons. .
-I would venture to guess that, on the low side, 40% of gobblers taken nowadays die with some type of visual aid. Would making the use of these visual aids illegal not reduce the overall harvest? I would wager it would have a larger impact than reducing the limit. **This is not in any way discounting those who choose to hunt with visual aids**
-Many states have a daily limit of (1) gobbler. This, although small, could result in a few less gobblers being taken due to flock shooting.
-And dare I say it, but before I had fewer spring mornings to enjoy I would vote for a noon or 1pm cutoff like other states. We still have the daily opportunities and I'm sure that would result in reduced harvest.
Just some ideas.
GA has the longest spring season in the country and you wonder why your turkey population is declining?
I'm complaining about populations.1pm cutoff???? You guys must not like turkey hunting. Go ahead and restrict yourself out of existence even more for no reason. It’s easy. Kill predators and manage your woods correctly and the population will increase. Anyone who complains simply isn’t doing enough to warrant complaining about populations. To anyone out there trying to cry lower limit or any other restriction. WHAt have you done to increase your populations?
Sorta true Pappy. Pay as much as you can to increase acreage to hunter ratio, and things get better. As far as moneys worth. A $1500 risky investment won't last. Go for the long term $2500 safe one. Or hunt remote.The problem is the same as deer hunting. You have clubs with a little land and 80 hunters. Everyone wants to get their $1500 money’s worth to heck with conservation. The club managers manage memberships and not game animals. The same goes for every club I’ve been on in Georgia since 1989.
Maybe I haven’t found the right club but I’ve found the majority of clubs are run like those I’ve experienced.
Yep I agree, I’m looking for that club in NE Ga now but I don’t think they exist unless I travel 2.5 hrs south. That’s just not possible with young kids and a wife, in my case.Sorta true Pappy.

I agree on all accounts.Three things I would love to happen would be
No decoys (I would be okay with no male decoys)
No jakes (unless under age 16)
1 gobbler per day
The decoys I don't think would ever happen. The hunting industry is too big and unfortunately the decoy market is the money maker in turkey hunting now, not the calls.
