I'm just trying to figure out if its because we have such a restricted hunt compared to you. I know that killing a tom has very little impact on the overall population. It just seams that if you killed less gobblers that you would have more gobblers to hunt.
As muck as some think. I'm not butt hurt that you van kill 5 and I only get 1. Truth is, I have 5 tags myself this year. My 1 tag. 1 for a first time turkey hunter that I'm getting hooked. 1 for a first time hunter. 1 for a avid bow hunter that's never hunted turkeys. And 1 for a coworkers son. I hope to give each and every one the best hunting experience of there lifetimes.

Sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings. That was not my intention.


Your state lets folks shoot hens? And you are trying to understand our management practices? Oh.......ok.......I get it now. You want to learn how Minnesota can help increase their turkey population. Stop shooting hens would be step number one............then maybe we won't have to ship you guys any more birds to restock.


Yes Minnesota does allow you to shoot hens in the fall but no one really does. I don't know anyone that buys a fall tag and actually turkey hunts. Everyone that I know that buys a fall licence just do it to have the tag in there pocket while bow hunting for deer. Just incase your able o get to full draw on one out of a tree stand.


Fall 2014........ 8,193 hunters harvested 1,078 birds.
