You need to start turning people in who are breaking laws….

People have been killing them for years as soon as they start gobbling good . And limit ?This thread has some passion in it, as it should. I appreciate those here that think for themselves. I listen to podcasts every week while on the road and in the tractor cab. I listen to endless hours of input from wildlife biologists and have gained lots of great info from it. The one thing that makes you pound your head into the wall is the lack of common sense displayed by many of these folks. For example, I listened to one last week about supplemental feeding. The guy spent five years and lots of money to conclude that coons and possums are the primary recipient of supplemental feed stations. Well duh, if you dump feed into a trough feeder or spin feeder it happens. Meanwhile, I’m putting out dozens of tons annually through boss buck feeders and the critters rarely ever appear on camera!
My point is, the changes are definitely just “to be doing something”. I like the daily limit, but if I wait to start hunting on that start date I’ll be in the minority in my neighborhood. These guys start about March 1st. The worst thing is that it won’t do a darn thing for population increase and failed in the experimental area. Too bad.

Yes Buck, and I would strongly suspect that your neighbors pay little, if any attention, to any other game regulations either. Why stop there? Maybe even ANY laws in general that inconvenience them in the slightest way?
Sure, no one leads a perfect, transgression free life. I know I haven’t. Then again, I’ve never knowingly , and repeatedly, violated the law in general, and game laws in particular. What Buckpasser was describing was an act of overt selfishness on the part of his neighbors. “ I’m going to get mine and I don’t give care about you , the law, or the resource “. If that becomes the predominant attitude, we might as well hang it up as a society. We’ll have far bigger problems than just no turkeys.I've been known to straddle the yellow line in a two lane road before...end even turn without my signal most of the time...
Had 3 different groups of poults on 2 cell cameras at the same moment in time 200 yards apart. To go along with the 18 or so I have seen quite a few times on another a mile and a half away. Then I realize outside of the short distance those cameras detect, there are a few thousand acres. How many poults are out there I can't see? I think the turkeys will be fine. Even when they don't light on gun barrels.
Maybe take out an add in the local newspaper shedding light on stage situation?
More publicity would force them to deal with things I would think.

Lol. The out of staters still have it made. Blow through here early season, grab them a couple, and leave us working for the lazy complainers.See, the new laws and the turkey doc’s solution are already working. You’re welcome.
You'll hear all about it that's for sure....I just hope to hear a gobble this spring.
About what.You'll hear all about it that's for sure....
