Any new news about the 08 season, as far as being able to take a hen? |

I can see a fall hunt happening in the not to distant future. (Maybe 08) Then there might be a possibility of killing a hen |

We were talkin' the other day and someone said it was one week starting the Thanksgiving weekend this year. I have no verification on that at all. I agree Rutman with that point, although I'd probably have a tag in case a tom wondered under one of my deer stands. |

With the latest thaw looks like its an easy winter for them. I still think I would wait till the very last hour before taking a hen thats just me..I guess I have two tags though. Guess time will tell what I am going to do. |

I still would not shoot a hen for the sake that you are killing anywhere from 1-8 young for the next year. Not in my area yet as there still aren't alot of birds like there is to the South of us. Matt |

lots of birds to the north of you as well Matt, I was talking to a guy the other day from the land stewardship program and he mentioned it will be happening soon with a fall hunt but he had no details, he had just heard about it through work. Will likely only be in a couple of WMU's to start |

If they don't start allowing more tags and any turkey tags and lenghening seasons or having more the farmers around here are gonna go vigilante. I've been asked a couple times already to take a bunch off their farms. They can't believe it when I tell them that I can't and give examples of the penalties. |

The farmers in my area are fed up with them. We went to the head office in peterbough to talk with the CO about what to do. It is legal to shoot them and eat them at anytime of the year with any weapon if they are being a nuisance. When you see 50-60 birds in your bunker silo every day you get mad. I hunt them with a tag but i cant afford to be feeding these things all winter. They make a mess of any field they get into like we have lost about 50% of most grain crops to them. Like I have said before the program didnt take in my area so the birds have flourished. Anyways most guys will just shoot them and eat them no matter what the MNR says. Dont get me started on the bear problem. Dennis |

In most cases you have to have a permit to take them or any other nuisance game. my buddy is a cash cropper and the geese were wiping out his wheat so he got one but the permit was only for one person and he had to leave them where they lay. No profit, no food, no trophies. Theres another guy that has one for deer around here and his designate rides an atv with a rifle and nocks down deer year round.(SICK) ![]() What the hell is crop insuance for anyways? |
