Default RE: SOUTH DAKOTA OR TEXAS?

According to the latest data (2003 estimates):

Texas -estmated population 200,000
-spring turkey licences $120
-annual harvest 30,000 birds
- 4 tags and you can shoot 'em all in one shot if you want!

SD -estmated pop. 51,000
-Spring turkey tag $85
-annual harvest 5,250 birds
- 1 bearded bird

Man, I think this is a no-brainer. If I'm going travelling I sure like the higher population, the higher success ratio of Texas. Never mind the fact you could come home with 4 birds. If you're going to spend the money go to Texas!
