LBL

Looks like LBL has really dropped the ball on upcoming season. 2 -3 day adult quota hunts ( one prior to state opener) and 6 day open season.
Last year they had 2-2 day adult quota hunts and a 3 week open season.

Low numbers needs less hunting?

LBL needs to can the whole turkey hunt for a few years and hope the turkeys can rebound. IMO

Need to start letting hunters go up there and lay some scunion down on the hog population. I wonder how much damage those things have done to the population.

LBL is such a heart breaker. I have vivid memories of camping with my wife and new born daughter (10 years ago). I'd get up and hunt a couple hours before they got out of the tent. I honestly cannot remember a hunt where I didn't at least hear one gobble.
Fast forward to last year and I put in countless miles and never once cut a track, let alone hear one.

I'm glad to see the 3 day quota hunt. I hope to draw. The open hunt probably needs to go away for awhile.

I used to hunt LBL when I was in college. It was the first place ever heard tukeys gobbling .

Is it a coyote issue? A hog issue? Or both?

I am betting both. It is getting overrun with hogs. I see them when I am on the boat fishing with buddy.

I have not seen a turkey in 4 years on our annual weeklong archery hunt in early Nov. I did hear a few hens last fall one morning. I think the hogs are really hurting the population, they will eat anything. The number of hog sightings is thru the roof!
