Is it time to up the tag limit from 3 to 4????

[Diehard0123]

I am just wondering what everyone thinks.  keep the bag limits the way they are for Western Wa and the East slopes of the Cascades, but do you think populations in the Northeast and Southeast are at a point that WDFW could add an additional tag for these areas?

I live here. LEAVE the bag limit ALONE. Don't give the idiots at WDFW another excuse to charge more. Do you think we are overrun with turkeys??? One bad winter will wipe out half of them. What a stupid idea

   Dumb idea, sorry.

No good hunting like it is.  Plus with the fall season they get plenty of hunting.

So much for asking questions on this site and getting a repsectful opinion, Damn

The only reason it's 3 and not 2 is for the turkey mini slam in WA.  Dumping too many turkeys in the NE would cut down on the populations and result in a loss of successful hunters.   


My sis just moved to FL so I think I'll pursue the Turkey grand slam, not that I'm a fanatical turkey hunter (yet)but the opportunity is there so why not 

edit:  I love taking kids out after turkeys and that's really been getting me fired up after them myself.

Not sure why you got stomped on.     


I agree with not upping the limit, but a little civility for an honest question isn't a bad thing.

Sorry for my reply last night. No excuse, but I'm on a 4 week bout of acute bronchitis and taking three different meds. Just hit me wrong.

Wow! After 4 weeks I think "acute" has up graded to "chronic". I sure hope you can get better soon, 4 weeks is a long time.

All I know is, i hope I can finally tag another WA Tom, its been since the 90s for me since I have nailed one!

Sorry, I don't see where the disrespect is?  I see a couple responses that said it is a dumb/stupid idea (including my own), noone attacked you personally or called you names.

Lets do the math
3 turkeys in the spring
1 early fall
1 late fall
2 beardless
That is 7 tags
If you draw a permit, it is 8.

Everything I've heard is the NE WA has had some hits to their populations because of the winters the past couple years.

I'm happy with one a year    Like it was said, one bad winter screws the bird for a couple of years.

The area I've hunted was hit hard by the 08 winter... Hasn't rebounded yet. Maybe other factors are in play but can't be sure. This year im looking for new spots

What effect do wolves have on the Turkey population?
