ok i just got the info tennessee opens on march 29th and closes may 11th the TWRA website says it may be a good year to harvest more animals due to a potentially poor mast crop last year causing much more activity for feeding during the day here is the article

􀀮􀀢􀀴􀀵􀀁􀀤􀀳􀀢􀀴􀀩�*

The big news around the state is

that temperatures plummeted into the

low twenties on successive nights in

Tennessee. Normally these temperatures

do not have any negative impact

on plant species during the winter

months since most plants lie dormant

and are well prepared for freezing temperatures.

Unfortunately, these freezing

marks occurred during the second

week of April, well after the spring

green-up. To make matters worse, most

Tennessee tree species were in their

“flowering” mode which is a necessary

component for fruit production. The

fruit of many hardwood trees, also

called mast, may have been killed off.

In other words, come fall there may

not be much acorn or nut production

throughout most of the state.

Since many animal species rely

heavily on mast, especially acorns,

there may be widespread effects of the

mast failure. If a failure does occur,

game species such as squirrel, deer,

turkey, and bear will be more active

during the day, seeking out alternative

food sources. This may lead to

increased harvest since the animals will

be more exposed during the hunting

season, so don’t be surprised if previous

harvest records are exceeded in

2007. Regardless of the outcome, it’s

Mother Nature’s way of controlling the

population.

What will the 2007 mast year look

like? Only time will tell.

for the 2007 reference in the article i assume it meant deer season 2007 but the mast crops ahould still be exhausted in the spring of 08 making more animals more active. . . more often

well i was bored yesterday, so i roosted about 25 birds. i took two of my buddy with me and they said, that about 10 of them had beards. i couldn't see to well. i wish i didn't do this, because now i cant stop thinking about turkeys!

if anyone shoots a birds post it here, then i will copy and paste it in the Turkey Contest Captainsform so it can be added to are teams points.
