What can the Game and Inland Fisheries do to increase interest in fall turkey hunting?
Suggestions have been made to:
a. have more days overlap with the deer season
b. have more days of fall hunting that do not overlap with deer season
c. grant a 4th turkey tag that would be either sex for fall season only
d. put more fall only hen tags on license
e. leave limit at 3 birds and restrict hunters to no more than 2 birds per season
f. move two week fall season to last two weeks in October or opening mid October
g. change last week of turkey season to open week in December west of blue ridge mountains
h. have a one hen limit in fall and close season in areas showing decreasing populations.
