Outdoorzman Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 As I mentioned in another post, Maine goes generally from May 1st to June 5th, give or take a day. Our location/zone originally opened to turkey hunting in 1996 by chance lottery only, but now it's over-the-counter. We can only hunt til noon and no Sunday hunting. Bag limit was always 1 bearded tom but starting this spring, (2010), we will be allowed 2 bearded birds. I'm pumped!! What are your season dates, how long can you hunt, (half or full days), and what's your bag limit in spring?? Two years ago me and my partner both took doubles in Vermont (over 2 days), and the cool thing was both hunts made it on outdoor tv. Of course, my buddy took 2 in one shot and I had to make 2 shots in rapid succession to kill my 2 birds...but we did it! Am hoping to do it in Maine now!!

Diamond Archer 01 Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Our season opens on may 1 I believe, but I can hunt the weekend before because of the youth week. The season goes til the end of may I think and you can shoot two birds. And you can only hunt til noon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NiteRunner Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 In Ohio you get to tag 2 beared birds. You've got almost a full month to get the job done. You can only hunt until Noon. There was talk about being able to hunt all day for the last 2 weeks of season, but I haven't heard anything more on it lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakota Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 (edited) The season is April 10th-May 23rd throughout the state except for a few counties. As far as bag limits it just depends on how many tags you have...you can have five spring prairie turkey licenses (either one male wild turkey tag or two any wild turkey tag licenses), I think only one statewide archery turkey and one Black Hills tag. However, if you play your cards right you can easily take a Merriams, Rio and Eastern depending on where you apply.

Rhino Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 March 6-12 Youth week March 13-May 2 state wide We can kill 3 birds with a 6" beard and can hunt all day. Yep 6" beard or an adult gobbler (full fan). I'll just add for youth hunters (15 years and younger) 1 of their birds can be any gobbler regardless of beard length.

Limbhanger Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Here in PA, everyone has a tag for one Spring bearded bird, and must purchase a second Spring tag if you want it. Our season starts around the 1st of May this year and lasts 4 weeks. Major complaint here, always get a late start. I go right over the border in Ohio, and their season starts 2 weeks earlier.
