Was talking at work about turkey. some one asked if you could hunt turkey from a tree stand. I said nope sure can’t. Then someone pulled the law up. Just interested in how y’all comprehend how it reads.

Sounds like u can't hunt from a scaffold bowhunting 😀

Sounds like you can hunt turkeys from a tree stand, as long as you’re bow hunting and not gun hunting


Assuming that a tree stand falls within the legal definition of a ‘scaffold’. The ‘except wild turkey’ clarification applies to gun hunting from a scaffold. Not to bowhunting from a scaffold

Dag um after reading it a 5th time I see it that way

Yep, some commas or parentheses around ‘except wild turkey’ would make it a lot clearer

Only thing in question to me is defining scaffold.

1a : a temporary or movable platform for workers (such as bricklayers, painters, or miners) to stand or sit on when working at a height above the floor or ground. b : a platform on which a criminal is executed (as by hanging or beheading) c : a platform at a height above ground or floor level.

So, c: a platform at a height above ground or floor level can be used on all but turkey. Scaffold exception for turkey exception is also for bow hunting.

I'm not bow hunting Turkeys, but if I did I'd take it to mean its ok as long as I'm not using a firearm.

Over 200 views makes me think that everyone is questioning what they always thought was the law.

Somebody get caught turkey hunting out of an elevated shooting house with a shotgun

More unreasonable crap from game&fish. Why does it matter if you are elevated? Can I hunt from a hill? How about from a rock overlook? Why would a ladder stand or tree stand be different if I am gun hunting?

I don’t know much about turkey hunting, but the old timers always told me about killing dozens of them at a time sitting on a Brickmason’s scaffold.

Said it works best if the sun is in your face too.

Should be no closed season, with a limit only on number of gobblers in a calendar year.

The idea that multiple states have a fall season, but Alabama and Georgia don't, is just stupid.

I don't have a problem with a limit of 2-3 per year, but why do you care how and when I shot them? Why is a shotgun more ethical than a rifle? Again, why would the state care?

The man had a chart for those questions, hadn’t showed up in this thread yet though…
