Good luck. From what I understand most would like you to take a truck load home.

I Would like to get my limit of 2

Limit of 2?

Is there a season or limit on domestic birds?

Game laws say only 1 "Eastern" wild turkey on the Wetside and in the Spring only .... guess it depends on WDFW saying these are feral domestic  or wild ...

if the bird is shot in Kilctat county ( spelled wrong) you can shoot 2. and i will not be hunting there  but my wife is hunting with me... so we each have a license and a tag so it's 2 for us... i think ya'll interperted it wrong... when i said 2 just for me, sorry for the misinterpertation.  And if you read the regs... on the 15th it is open to all of washington state not certin GMU's.  But yes it is one turkey.

That made no sense.

You can shoot three birds each in the spring. Only 2 from eastern washington, and only one may be from chelan, kittitas, and yakima counties combined. You can only shoot one on the westside. However the birds on the island are not really wild birds so there really should not even be a season on them... but you should contact the state to make sure they haven't classified them as wild birds.

Irish. Unless you are b.s.ing, you might want to read the regs thoroughly. A couple of times.
