Sounds like I may want to reconsider my plans to drive up to Kansas for a late-season hunt....

I wouldn't let a stranger's experience influence my travel plans, especially if I had been successful in the past in KS. If you have experience in the area, I'm sure you can still kill birds due to knowing the area. KS is just getting A LOT more pressure the past couple seasons. But this may not apply to every region (although from what I'm hearing from acquaintances, it does).

What saddens me is seeing prime land getting taken out of the WIHA program..And from all the litter I've saw at some WIHAs, I believe I know why the landowners do it...

Like I previously stated, it takes things like this for these new 'traveling' turkey hunters to learn to keep their mouths shut.
 
I will admit I have contributed to the problem on this forum. My first post was asking for advice on yanahli WMA back in late 2010. My first couple seasons I proudly said where I killed my deer and turkeys, short of the actual road. I though mentioning the WMA was ok as long as you didn't mention the specific area. My posts along with everyone else who brags on the Internet has brought the WMA down and it sure ain't what it used to be.

No joke, In AL I thought the woods were full of "owls". Walking around and hooting. Come to find out it was actual owls. Its nothing to see and or hear dozens of them. Crazy thing is hoot owl calls still work, bad thing is you never know for sure whether its a hunter or real owl.

Just because a piece of public ground gets hammered day in and day out, doesn't mean the turkey hunting still can't be good. Sounds like you boys will have to become better turkey hunters. No matter how many they kill, there are always gobblers left to be called up. Heavy pressure ensures it. ;)

this ain't about being a better turkey hunter, this is about too many people on one property running around shooting at stuff, making a lot of noise and ruining other people's hunts. Heavy pressure is not enjoyable hunting, even if you do end up killing a bird. The amount of weekday hunters I've seen this year has me concerned. It's also somewhat of a safety issue with so many people at once.

For years, you guys have been making it sound like turkey hunting in Mid TN is easy and it's full of birds. You need more mention of rattlesnakes, meth labs, bears, elk, 4-wheelers, big girls with hairy arm-pits, 3,009 feet of elevation change, 14 mile hikes, no fields for decoys, "gay days" at the local campground, 48 degrees and rain in April, etc...

After reading about a newbie calling in 7 gobblers to the same ridge and that there's so many turkeys, everyone should be able to shoot 6 hens in the fall; who wouldn't want to hunt there.

I never said I called in 7 on one ridge on yanahli. That was just assumed by people who have read my older posts where I used to say I hunt yanahli.

I got a season wrecker on private land right now and I can't complain with the way the public land has gone lately.
