Default RE: more than one gobbler

Yes I do believe it is going to impact the turkey population and I will tell you why I think that. I believe that it will keep more hunters in the woods for longer during the month. I think that will in turn put pressure on the hens and keep bumping them from the nest. Eventually they will get tired of the pressure and abandon the nest. e.g. unhatched eggs, less poults=less turkeys. I believe they are going to charge $20.00 for the extra tag, If you haven't figured it out I am 100% against the second gobbler tag. If you want em to kill more than the two birds we already can then let the tag be used in the fall not the spring. I also believe alot more jakes will be harvested than normal because the Boss gobbler hunters will shoot a jake cause they knowthe can fall back on the second tag to hunt that Big OLE bird. Just my opinion. PA is hunted extremely hard and there is alot of pressure on the animals now, can't imagine how it would be if they did the tag. Pat
