Title: What is the legal shooting stop time in your state?
Post by: TURKEYWHACKER on February 19, 2012, 09:50:48 PM
Curious if the stop time is the same for both public and private land turkey hunting in your home state. Here in Florida they make us stop at 1:00pm on public land while those on private land may hunt until sunset. How about in your neck of the woods.

Michigan is one half hour before sunrise to one half hour before sunset.. We have four time zones so the time will vary by 6,12,and 18 minutes.

So basically you guys are saying both public and private lands have the exact same shooting hours. Hmmmn, guess I need to step up my game to get the REAL answer from FWCC as to why we need different stop times.
