SF 10: Relating to special landowner turkey hunting licenses

Became SF 148 · Its progress continues under the new number.

What it does

Under current law, one wild turkey license without fee is issued to each owner of a farm unit or to a member of the owner’s family and to the tenant of the farm unit or a member of the tenant’s family for use on that farm unit. A special wild turkey hunting license is valid and may be used during any bow or firearm turkey hunting season. This bill allows a special wild turkey hunting license to be used during any open season using the method of take authorized for use during that season and authorizes the person issued the license to harvest only one turkey.
