[QUOTE="MidTennFisher, post: 5776596, member: 11842"] SC does nothing intelligent when it comes to managing anything. The lower part of the state has turkey opener March 22nd, the rest of the state is April 1st. But the March 22nd opener in the lowcountry is only for private land. WMA still opens April 1st. Both openers are too early in my opinion. They allow baiting for deer despite many studies citing the growth of aflatoxin in corn piles during warm weather at high enough levels to kill young turkeys. Come August, this state is covered in half of Iowa's harvest of corn on the ground. They also screw public land hunters by giving us only a 4 week season (and we can't hunt Sundays on public land) while private land gets 6 weeks plus Sundays. As a guy hoping to move back to Tennessee someday, the last thing I'd want TWRA to do is literally anything similar to anything SCDNR does. Note: We finally are allowed to hunt public land this season on Sundays but that does not include turkey season. They said the WMA population of turkeys can't handle full weekends of hunting. All our DNR does is restrict hunter opportunity and call it "management". [/QUOTE]
