Old Mossy Horns
I’m not a biologist, I’m not a wildlife management expert. I am a hunter with 70 years of experience hunting and observing animals in the wild. If told that I could only hunt one species for the rest of my life I would choose the wild turkey without hesitation. That’s why I care and that’s why I have major concern over how NC wildlife officials don’t seem to be interested in taking measures to preserve the flock. Continuing to base all regulations on total harvest will eventually eliminate hunting in some areas.
Youth season should start the first Saturday in April and last for three days. Regular season should start the second Saturday in April and end the first Saturday in May. The state should be divided into three regions. Coastal, Piedmont, Mountains. The Piedmont and Mountain region limits should be reduced to one bird for two seasons and then reevaluated. A turkey tag should be required to be purchased from nonresident hunters as other states require.
As stated it’s wishful thinking but if you agree then at least we are on record as having said it.
