[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5741015, member: 1409"] It's a shame we can't "manage" with better localized precision, since we do have great capabilities to micro-manage for superior results at the county level & below, but it's [U][B]too complicated and too non-enforceable[/B][/U]. [B]A better plan is simple, no confusion, highly enforced.[/B] Sadly, this means more conservative statewide bag limits and shorter statewide seasons. But it does not mean more "rules" or "laws". Keep it simple. Maybe if TWRA had opted for less liberal bag limits & season lengths (especially opening so early as to draw in large numbers of non-resident turkey killers), we wouldn't have had to now have a 2-bird limit, shorter season, and no "bonus" birds on quota WMA hunts. Never mind that, yes, some areas could withstand very high bag limits and long seasons. But we did try that statewide for years, as the turkey population plummeted in long-established turkey hunting counties, mainly only thriving where there had not been and still is not much turkey hunting.
