I guess I am missing the point some are trying to make here? The whole intent of changing turkey regs was to limit harvest for a specific group, that's what I read into every harvest report since I can remember.
Turkey Harvest reports:
3 tag seasons
2017:"However, it is interesting to note the relative contribution to the total harvest of turkeys by the few hunters that harvest 3 birds. Ironically, the percentage of hunters taking 3 birds was only 2.9 percent, however, this small percentage of hunters harvested an estimated 28 percent of the total birds taken in the state"
2016:"Ironically, the percentage of hunters taking 3 birds was only 3.5 percent, however, this small percentage of hunters harvested 27 percent of the total birds taken in the state"
5 tag seasons
