Regulation hypo (poll)

[Mike Belt]

I voted #2 (reduce the limit) but it's hard to put your finger on just 1 reason. Just as in deer hunting the regulations for turkey hunting are too broad. I agree that blanket policies greatly simplify whatever they're meant to cover but our state and it's wild game populations are much too diverse to effectively and adequately regulate all as one. Where one county may have healthy populations another may need adjustments/major adjustments. Could be wrong but it seems to me that when policies are made that they don't ere on the side of caution but rather bend to the will of those areas not needing any adjustments??????

My turkey hunting evolved much like my deer hunting. I'm picky. Youngins get a pass. I simply get no satisfaction in killing a game animal before it knows how to play the game. Besting the best is my goal but in order to play by those rules regulations dictating healthy populations are required. Overall the last few years I regret to say that it seems that isn't happening and any moves towards that goal are reactive rather than proactive.

As a side note, I've never fanned. I do have to say that it has an appeal for me. Getting that close to a bird with him doing his thing looks like it'd really be a rush and I'd love to try it. I think it should remain a legal way to take a bird but with 1 stipulation; you aren't allowed a weapon. You have to catch him by hand. I want to see the videos, lol.

It also emphasizes my statement from last year that decoys are a chicken yugo tactic

Personally I would choose both 1 & 2, next year I hope to travel to another state like Texas/Florida

I pick none! I'm happy with the way it is, no matter what is done people are gonna fluffy kitten,complain and whine! None of the things you listed are gonna happen anyways, biggest thing that would help is go to zones and set limits according to population every two years according to hatch surveys.

.......... biggest thing that would help is go to zones and set limits according to population every two years according to hatch surveys.

Definitely an improvement over painting the entire State with a broad brush. I'd be all for it.

I voted for #2, however I would like the limit to be 3 mature and no jakes.

Also, make sure opening weekend never falls on Easter. That chaps my rear to no end!!!!

If things stay as they are, your hunting experience WILL eventually be negatively affected by a population decline well below what your location is capable of.

After that happens, will you still he happy? Will you become a bitcher, whiner, or complainer? Or will you just quit turkey hunting, because it was never that important to you?

we have seen a huge decline already, but I'm still happy with the options I have, and no I will not turn into a regulations whiner because I'm happy to be able to pursue the wild turkey in any form or fashion I choose as long as I'm within the limits of the law. I live to hunt turkeys, deer are only a crutch between springs.
