What should the future of wild turkey hunting in Ontario look like?

You guys will be safe with me in your area. I will be using my x-bow & need to get my bird inside of 15 yards for a Magnus bull-head shot... LOL

If they did legalize the .22 I could care less I would still use by x-bow... :)

if gobbling like a tom or a strutter deke isn't in your arsenal when hunting you are missing out on a fast way to get a tom to cover distance and have a quick and easy hunt
they also taught you not to shoot the red cloth when the guys wipes his nose, hope u didn't need a course to learn that,
2 native buddies that are aloud to hunt before season have had guys sneak up and shoot at there dekes twice, don't need road hunters from a hundred yards rippin hollow points,

I think the issue is, would you be comfortable out hunting with your bow, knowing there are others out there hunting with .22's.

You would, sure. But if it was legalised, what about guys with a scoped .22 shooting 100+ yards?
We have a whole whack of laws related to hunter safety, this is just one of them.
The MNR has to make laws for all hunters, not just the safe ones.

eight pages is a bit too long for me to go through sorry if these points are beat to death.

For all that is holy the reporting system!
1. reporting should be jake/tom/hen
2. WMU taken in
3. date
get rid the beard, spur, weight

I cant be convinced that when a new hunter takes the course having to take a another turkey course is not an out and out money grab. make the turkey course a subsection of the course.
