[QUOTE="CMP70306, post: 2169668, member: 36999"] This topic was discussed on another forum, based on their numbers eliminating rifles would save 900 hens and 1800 total birds out of a total of almost 50,000 turkeys killed. Additionally you are allowed to kill a bearded hen so this rule does nothing to stop the estimated 3,000 bearded hens killed during spring gobbler either. Their statement of “doing it to prevent declining turkey populations” holds no water to anyone who is paying attention when rifles take such a small portion of the total harvest. Based on the info available it appears this is just a way for the NWTF members of the board to eliminate the rifle hunting of turkeys. Same way one of the members a few years back tried to ban rifles in the fall over safety concerns. [/QUOTE]
