As we speak the record harvest number is continuing to grow. I got to thinking. What will be the impact of this season? Not just on the birds, especially the Jakes/2 yr olds next season, but the sport itself. Will the state drop the number of Tom tags from 2, to 1 next season? Will it be based on location...Mountains/Piedmont, etc? I only mention this bc although the state is experiencing record numbers, counties like Halifax Co. are at or below the average for the last three season. Will a lot of your honey holes no longer be “your secret” spot due to hunter’s finding them, illegal or legal hunters. (I have ran off and seen more trespassers this season than the last 10 combined). Which is another thought, how many “new” hunters from this season will continue to turkey hunt next year. Just this week I have had two Hispanic hunters with their black face paint drive past me on gameland in their “plumbing work truck”, pvc pipes and all. As I stood there with my hands up and flashlight in there eyes, asking where are you going? Will Hunter numbers be higher, with less birds to be hunted? I know...a lot of rambling, but so many questions about the impact of this season rolling in my head.
