Even thought they have birds in the yard they aren't gonna buy a tag!! These are places I have a green light to go shoot!!
One buddy has close to 300 birds in the pasture right now!!
Could be interesting if this is a trend.

And the same bird is how much at Safeway? pound for pound! :chuckle:
No--A wild turkey is nowhere near being the same as a Butterball from Safeway! :puke:

The tags only $15, don't most people buy the small game license anyway? I skipped buying the small game license a couple years ago, but regretted it because I was getting bobcats on my trail cams but couldn't hunt them.
I'm struggling with buying any hunting tags due to the ineptitude of the WDFW in their wolf management and the loss of resources over here!!
Sad part is I'm in deep enough on a sheep tag I need to figure out just how to put in for it only!!

You CAN apply for sheep, moose, and mountain goat, without buying any type of hunting license. All you need is the application for each one. So if you just want to apply for sheep, and only sheep, then this year will cost you about $14.
That's why non-residents like applying for our OIL species, they don't need to buy a license to do so. Only the applications.

Only one left on my bucket list in this state is a sheep or a wolf!!!
Guess I'm gonna get off cheap this year!!
Thanks Bobcat!!

True, although a non-resident sheep application costs about $115.

Well, before last year it was only $50. It would be interesting to see how much, if any, of a decrease there was in non-resident app's when the price went up.

I also have them in my back pasture. So I guess your right I will go work in the yard and watch them!! Hook up the boat and go fishing.
Thank you for the idea!!
I just can't see close to 60 bucks for somewhere around 12 to 15 pounds of meat or less!
If your making a road trip don't forget to add your gas!!
If my Grandson decides he wants to hunt I will take him!!
Post by: BOWHUNTER45 on March 24, 2013, 07:22:02 PM
Yeah, I don't think anyone should buy a turkey tag this year! Just stay home, work in the yard, go fishing, save money. Probably gonna be a bust of a year anyway! :chuckle:yeah I agree too ...you know gas prices and people not working , you best just stay home and hopefully it will be better next year ...unless the government decides to put a hold on your money then what ? :yike:

Its not about the table fare for me, as stated, they're no Butterball. Its all about doin the dance with a tom! I do enjoy eating them, but more so I enjoy interacting with them. Nothin gets ur blood boilin like a tom stalking your calls through the woods. That to me is well worth the price of admission! Since I'm gonna buy the small game license anyway I don't even consider it as an added cost to turkeys. Plus I don't live in turkey country, so I look forward to my annual pilgrimage to the promised land!

"One does not hunt in order to kill; on the contrary, one kills in order to have hunted...If one were to present the sportsman with the death of the animal as a gift he would refuse it. What he is after is having to win it, to conquer the surly brute through his own effort and skill with all the extras that this carries with it: the immersion in the countryside, the healthfulness of the exercise, the distraction from his job."
Jose Ortega
That brought a tear to my eye :'( Seriously, though. That's what it's all about, brother. The challenge, the mountains and the chase.
