Wow Fish and game must think turkeys are doing really good. Up to 5 toms in the spring and 4 on the fall. 9 birds a year total. That's a lot of turkey enchiladas at my house . Good luck guys spring is just around the corner. Hunt

I probably love turkey hunting more than the next guy, but I think this is going to turn out to be a bad idea.

It shouldn't really have an effect IMO. To fully realize the limit requires a draw tag which in my experience is on par with sheep tags. Then the other 2 new tag areas for the most part require private permission. Eastern MT tag areas/ tag #s stayed the same.

There aren't enough guys in MT that are willing to do that much travel for turkeys to make it a bad idea.

Here in NW MT there don't seem to be that many people interested in hunting them. Today I had 25 in my front yard, sent the dog out to chase them over the fence.

Access to the birds in NW MT can be tough. Gotta knock on a bunch of doors to find the right door to get access to the "W"easterns
