Lincoln Co is going to allow 6 birds either sex on the fall turkey hunt. While I won't shoot 6 I like having the oppertunity. reflex264
Where are you located ?
Geez, that seems like a lot. We only get 1 in PA.

Same here in NY. This year I have a land owner who wants me to hunt the ones on his property and said he would put his tag on one so I could possibly take two. He said they wont leave his bird feeders alone. The offer sounds tempting.
Lincoln County TN. Right on the bama line. reflex264
You can take 4 in MO. 2 w/bow, 2 w/shotgun.
Seems like a very liberal limit seeing how this is the first fall season there.Is that 6 per season or spring/fall combined?
6 during the fall and 4 in spring. Bearded only in spring. reflex264

Wow that is a lot of birds. Is the turkey populations in your area really that strong? IMO I would try to limit myself to maybe 2 or 3 at the max.
We have a strong turkey population here and one of the best hatches that I can remember.
We actualy had a fall season last year but if I remember correctly the limit was 3 either sex. reflexl
The limit varies by county, like i live in Lawrence co. Tn, and we can only kill 3. Last year we could kill 6. The thing about TN fall hunts is, i can kill 3 in my county then ride over to Lincoln and kill 6, then ride to maury county and kill 6 more. The opportunity doesnt end. And tennessee has had a fall Turkey season for at least 8 or 9 years, maybe more
Sounds like a pain to keep up with. There are a lot of miles of county lines in a state.
Unlimited tags on Private Land here in Michigan. :icon_thumright:
Several TN counties have 6 birds! Ours has 2 but we hunt in most surrounding counties and have a chance to get 17 birds in the 13 day period! Good luck to ya!
Sorry, I don't live in Tennessee, and have never had the privilege of hunting there, but, for the life of me, I can't understand the logic behind having such a liberal season, especially when it is county by county, with no overall state limit. We have a good population of birds here in MO as well. Not as many as in years past, due largely to some poor hatches and nesting conditions over a several year period, but our total legal yearly limit is only 6 birds, 2 in the spring, and as someone else noted, two in fall firearms, and two in archery season.

Middle TN is COVERED in birds, all the way from the top of the state down to the Alabama line. I don't even think 10 birds puts a dent in the population. Keep in mind that fall turkey hunting is not very popular so I don't think it contributes much.
