2017 Turkey in Ontario

[MADMAX2]

In wmu's with a fall hunt we now get a month to arrow a bird!

Now if we could use our leftover spring tag for that it would be great!!

[bdog]

you are right about the tag, if I buy a tag for that year, I should be able to use it anytime that year during the spring or fall season

[Minnow]

They should make it so u are able to reregister that spring tag but they wouldn't make money that way. Cash grab

[one shot scott]

Not a hope in hades that the govt would decrease a fee. ( re-using a tag) As a matter of fact I can almost guarantee that the extra hunt time will result in a steep increase.

[j.krug]

Makes no sense that the spring tag wouldn't be good in the fall if you don't fill it....coloured me surprised!!

[Timbrhuntr]

I have hunted turkeys in 14 states and provinces and of those only 3 allowed you to use the tags in either season with a couple restrictions.

[ComfyBear]

Of course it's a cash grab. The facts speak for themselves. For instance if you hunt deer, all you need is a deer licence and tag, since it is considered a "big game". However, with turkeys you not only need a turkey tag/licence, but also a small game licence.

I guess the MNR can't decide if it's a small or big game animal. yeah right, it's their sneeky way of upping the price to big game levels.

[Hunt it]

Good turkey hunters need to buy another tag for fall anyways Perhaps we could suggest a fall turkey/deer combo tag for few more $$ onto deer tag - many states do it this way.

Great news,tag fee is no problem for this guy.I will happily pay for them and enjoy hunting.As for the pissing and moaning,Stop voting for Liberal scumbags like McGuinty and Wynne,and that useless "Yes" man pretty boy know nothing Trudeau,his daddy was a useless tit as well.Case closed.... FTL

[Timbrhuntr]

Oh vote for the conservatives so they can cancel another hunt like the spring bear OK that makes sense.

[L.C.B.H]

You keep voting liberal and keep whinning about tag prices.It was all the tree hugging socialist liberals crying and whinning in the first place.I will continue to vote Conservative until the day i die...FTL

[L.C.B.H]

It's great for avid bird hunters who are not pinching pennies for a much longer season in the turkey woods.Tag prices are a small price to pay for a longer fall season.I put 2 toms down every spring and have no issues with the fall tag being seperate and having to be purchased.

It would be great if #7 shot was included to be legal shot going forward as well.

he MNRF is also proposing to make April 25 the universal opening day of the spring season, regardless of which day of the week it falls on and giving consideration to allowing shot size number 7 for wild turkey – in addition to 4, 5 and 6. The will also clarify minimum bow requirements for hunting wild turkey in the hunting regulations.
