Surely I’m reading something wrong. It looks like a non resident will spend $835 to kill one bird in Arkansas. That’s a general license, a turkey license, and a turkey stamp/permit. Is that real?? Anybody else looked at it recently?

You sure you don’t have to buy the $410 hunting license first? Then those extra?

Hell I’d go to the Tyson plant and buy twenty chickens.

I hunted oos turkeys every year for a 17 year period. I think that was the golden age for the traveling turkey hunter, and I'm sorry that you younger guys won't have the opportunity to experience that. It used to be pretty easy to go on a week hunt to the Midwest and bring home 4 or 5 turkeys and have a bunch of encounters, but I am afraid that era is over.

When people argue and clamor and push and demand "non-residents must pay more for hunting in MY state!" this is what happens.
Hunters look at the prices for license, tags, stamps and get eye-popping shock along with "Ehhh, fu*k that. How do they do that?"
And yet it happens in their own state when they scream about non-residents "coming here, killing everything, driving up the price of ..."
Also, states be makin' that money. Gotta keep the Revenue River flowing.

I bet that money's not earmarked for turkey conservation neither.

I’m afraid that is true and transcends into ducks and geese. Big money is at play and they control the migrations with feed and open water. I’d read the other day that ducks return to the places they visited the year before. With GPS tracking surveying show up to 60% of the ducks teen that way. Arkansas duck hunters hated OOSers and it got worse. They hated DU back in the 90s for bringing the pain. Now YouTube has screwed up turkey hunting. Well duck hunting too. lol Change is not always good and I’m afraid we’re headed towards a European model of hunting. Also noticed put and take operations for birds is still growing since wild populations have dwindled.

I feel the same. 30 seasons and tons of time on the road. I’ve enjoyed it thoroughly….and killed my lifetime quota of gobblers several times over. Hunted 6-7 states last year. Had some excellent hunts and got heavily molested by pressure on quite a few hunts. I’ve failed to draw big time this year including Mississippi no draw for my third year in a row and that hurts because I can be hunting there in no time…..And have hunted it for decades. I’m too hard headed to quit but I can see the writing on the wall with non resident regs, quotas, and permits. Loose lips sink ships. And screw Mississippi

Arkansas is the last place I’d go hunt turkey I didn’t seek it out really. I’ll be there during opening week for a work trip. Just thought I may as well hunt while I’m there.

You sure you don’t have to buy the $410 hunting license first? Then those extra? Yes. They realized last how ridiculous it was for a non-resident to spend $500 on a single turkey last year. $600+ for two.

Fortunately (only for the timing of my trip), the season doesn’t start until April 21st. What a bunch of morons who think that’s a good idea. Hate it for the residents.

And screw Mississippi I definitely agree, especially on the MS part. I live in Alabama but work in MS and pay taxes on a NATIONAL forest that I can’t hunt because the state says so. 3 straight years undrawn for me as well.

My buddy works in Gulfport and he hasn’t been drawn for the first two week non resident in 3 years. I’ve been drawn every year. Plus the fact you can only apply for 5 WMA draw hunts now. What sense does any of that make?

What’s interesting on the Mississippi draw is between 5 guys applying that I know. Three have drawn all three years. And two have never drawn. What’s the odds? Id bet good money their system is jacked up
