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

[Bo D]

Have to disagree with you Frank sorry. There's an abundance of female birds around and with it being a short season I doubt very much they will be over harvested... There just isn't enough turkey hunters especially in the fall compared to that of the U.S.

Open fall season everywhere.

Survey done.i would love to see a early youth season. .

Early one week bow season But agree with most comments so far.

I had the following observations:
1.Commencing a hunting season on a Monday is a pet peave of mine - ergo I responded with 4th Saturday of the month
2. The use of e-callers can potentially improve safey by separating the sound source from the hunter
3. I would like to take two birds in a single day, but I would be more greatful with 3 per season. The number of birds I am season has been increasing steadily over the past 4 years. With a 20 km radius of my home the areas where I can successfully scout for turkey has doubled.
4. The survey did not provide an option to extend the hunting day to 1/2 hour after sunset to be consistent with other hunting regs.

You'll change you mind once you retire and see how nice and quiet an opening day is when the working stiffs aren't out there

Season should always open on a Saturday like trout. Last Saturday in April every year.

Early bow season would be great. Most years I stop hunting after week 2. Too many bugs & the birds seem to hide from too many hunters. Also the walleye fishing is on fire so I have other interests.2 birds in the same day would be good too for those of us who have limited time to get out & have to drive 1.5hrs to hunt Turkeys. Living in Essex county sucks for hunting permission...
