What’s in it
AI summary Currently, special wild turkey licenses are only valid during bow or firearm seasons. This change would allow people with these licenses to hunt during any open turkey season using whatever method is allowed at that time. People using this license would still only be allowed to harvest one turkey.1
Read the official explanation
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.
