Turkeys!!!!

DIRTYRATDIRTYRAT Member Posts: 2,167 ✭✭✭✭✭
Just got in and as I was driving down my driveway I saw a couple of turks crossing then a bunch came up over the ridge. I counted 21, alot of short-beards and a couple of longs. Haven't seen much sign around and was starting to get worried that there werent too many left around here. I was glad to see em...Might have to try to get one with a bow this spring!?![^]

    crazy stuff. our license comes with:

    -- 3 turkey tags. 2 for spring or fall, and 1 for spring only.

    -- 1 bear tag

    -- 6 deer tags. 3 either sex, 3 antlerless only, and you can buy as many anterless tags that you want.

    --there aer elk in the western part of the state (very few) but they can be checked in with the appropriate deer tag.

    I hate Ohio's turkey regulations. There are so many freaking turkey's in Ohio that it is just crazy. Ohio charges 20 bucks for a tag for both spring and fall. You can however, prove that they are being destructive and get a tag to take care of them for free.

    shoff, $24 for Spring permit & $24 for Fall permit this year. I was thinking that's what they were in 2005 too. I spend way to much money when I go in and buy my licenses each year.
    This year it's:
    resident license $19
    Fishing license $19
    deer tag $24
    wetland stamp $30
    turkey + turkey $48
    I doubt I get a $15 trapping license though, that way I can buy gas to fo hunt. [:D]
    I believe shotgun season will be 2 weeks this year, correct? That'll suck, 1x a year hunters scare me when they break out the old shotgun that's been in the closet since last November. [:D]

    Don't know? Haven't really been paying attention. This will probably be the last year I hunt in Ohio though, unless I end up there in a year. Its bad when I get get my out of state Indiana fishing license for 24 bucks and ohio is 19. And then yet, they still say they are going to raise prices again.

    Most of Alabama turkey season is 6 weeks with a bag limit of 6 toms per season. Deer season 1 buck and 1 doe per day October 15 - January 31. Happy hunting!

    They need to raise the Non-resident tags up a couple hundred more!
    And they wonder why the number of hunters in Ohio is dropping![:0]Looks like I'll be staying on family owned land from here on out. Then, the only thing I HAVE to buy will be the "Federal Stamp" for waterfoul!...They get enough of my money from property-tax already[:(!]

    people have tried that for years. the last article i read about it was about a year ago, and i think VA is only 1 of 6 states left that hunting is prohibited on sunday. ever heard of the revrand jerry falwell? well he practically owns central VA and unfortunately has a lot of political connections and i'm sure that has something to do with it. it really does suck to only get to hunt 1 day a week.
