ok lets put the new proposals aside for a second and talk about turkey limit clarification as of right now. as of right now i understand it to be 2 spring turkeys with visible beards only. than in the fall i can shoot 4 more any sex turkey. for a total of 6 turkeys and no more than two toms am I correct? And if that's the case am I able to shoot 6 birds in the fall if I don't get my spring gobblers as long as two of them are toms or can I shoot 6 birds in the fall any sex. cause from want I understand if I have 6 tags, 2 from the spring, and 4 for the fall I can shoot 6 birds of any sex as long as I only shoot 2 that are toms or can i use all 6 tags on hens. can anyone clarify for me. I'm not talking west side I'm strictly talking ne Washington birds. ive always kept my limit to 4 birds in the fall even if i didn't shoot my spring gobblers. either 4 hens or 2 and 2 thanks for your comments
No....2 turkeys with visible beards or gobblers ( jakes with no visible beard) Spring..... and 4 total in the fall of which 2 can be toms . the spring bag limit does not roll over to the fall season. I'm sure Russ McDonald can explain it better than I did.
You all didn't need me. Spring 3 birds 2 on the east side and one in the west. The reason for that is the Washington slam. Merriams in the NE, Rio's in the SE and Eastern from Olympia south on the west side. They all have to be visible beards. If you don't fill those tags they roll over to the fall. Fall 2 or either sex and 2 hens. So a combo for the fall. Now you can also hunt the east Cascades in the spring but the limit is only 1 bird not 2 as of now 2 in Klickitat though. So you can get a bird around Cle Elum and also get a bird in Kettle Falls. Fall hunting on the east Cascades. Teanaway and Okanogan are permit draws only as of right now and Klickitat is now OTC but as of right now only one bird. Spring hunt will be with current rules. There are some changes being proposed but they won't have enough time to put them in the Spring season.Sent from my SM-N976V using Tapatalk
Did they change the wording a short time ago to saying "male " birds or jake's with no visible beards? How I remember it was legal birds were birds with visible beards, regardless of sex.
Was there a chance for 3 birds on the east side in the spring in this year's proposals? Seems I read that. Not sure if the season is officially set for 2021. Maybe it's been finalized earlier, but if so, I missed it.
