Title: How many turkey tags can you buy?
Post by: Craig on April 11, 2017, 01:39:19 PM: I went to Cabelas today to buy my hunting license and turkey tags today. I told her I wanted two turkey tags. She said I could only buy one turkey tag now and one at a later date. Is that right? I thought I could get two now. She would only sell me one so that will do I guess.

Post by: Oh Mah on April 11, 2017, 03:39:07 PM: I know it doesn't say you cant so you can.but obviously he thought he could and thats why it got brought up.its the clerks fault as i said.

THE CLERK SHOULD HAVE LOOKED AT THE REGS. IT IS NOT ADDRESSED SO CLERK SHOULD HAVE KNOWN HE COULD GET ALL 3. is that better? :chuckle:

Post by: Oh Mah on April 11, 2017, 03:53:47 PM: I didn't see that between the paragraphs.oh well i guess the op should have showed the clerk that then.good catch bob i stand corrected.

Post by: Dan-o on April 11, 2017, 05:37:04 PM: There are two morals to this story:
1. You can buy your turkeys tags all at once.
2. Don't mess with bob33 on the regs.

I am so ready to go turkey hunting!!!!!!

Post by: Oh Mah on April 11, 2017, 05:39:26 PM: :yeah: some people read between the lines better than others that's for sure.
Title: Re: How many turkey tags can you buy?
Post by: Dan-o on April 11, 2017, 05:45:04 PM: Yep, I try to be very careful with reading and understanding the regs, but I would not go up against Bob.
Title: Re: How many turkey tags can you buy?
Post by: 6.8mmARHunter on April 18, 2017, 07:49:11 PM: So, "additional tags may be purchased at any time". My take would be that "any time" includes along with the first tag.
Title: Re: How many turkey tags can you buy?
Post by: The Gobble-stopper on April 20, 2017, 11:20:19 AM: I have been buying all three tags before season starts for 14 years. This year included. But I do not buy them at Cabelas!
