Can't kill them in McMinn or Rhea either!!stik said:they won't let me shoot them in roane or loudon co.
and we didn't make it to morgan co. during that time.
as far as shooting gobblers in the fall, NO passes from me. i don't hunt them in the spring.
Setterman said:I don't hunt turkeys in the fall. I have thought about it, then my childhood lessons from old timers back home rear their head and I put the thought aside. Back home killing hens is taboo, and I was brought up when it came to turkeys, only hunting them in the spring, and only a mature gobbler would be killed.
I could care less if others get jazzed about fall turkey hunting, I am sure it is fun.
I am puzzled a little by the folks who kill gobblers during the fall, it seems to me that those would be given a pass until spring.
knightrider said:didnt get a chance to go,but i for one think it should be hen only, why protect gobblers in the spring by only allowing one a day be harvested than open them up to flock shooting in the fall?doesnt make since to me,be like having an all you could shoot buck season in the spring.
smstone22 said:We have a season in my county but not enough turkeys to justify any conservation minded person shooting hens. And I hate to shoot a gobbler on my place in the Fall, I have few enough gobblers around in the Spring as it is.
have you looked at harvest numbers for catoosa last year and before, hardly a huge population of birds its a ghost town out there, they killed 400 of off 80000 acres last yearCarlos Viagra said:Any county that has a fall season should have a huge population of byrds. Cumberland county has plenty of 'em but no fall season yet. I'd guess its going to be added soon with the way they've populated this area, especially Catoosa.
If they killed 400 birds off of Catoosa last year then that place is pretty awesome according to the figures that SMSTONE22 posted up.knightrider said:have you looked at harvest numbers for catoosa last year and before, hardly a huge population of birds its a ghost town out there, they killed 400 of off 80000 acres last yearCarlos Viagra said:Any county that has a fall season should have a huge population of byrds.

Lots of birds there, very non vocal birds.Carlos Viagra said:Those were all jakes or gobblers also, no females.
