General Forum / Re: Iowa non resident draw sta...

You can call them as well and provide your Hunter Ed# and they can unlock your account rather than snail mailing in the documentation.

Last year I didn't draw the preferred zone/season I was after but still grabbed a left over tag in the season prior to what I had applied for and still had a successful hunt. Iowa has a healthy turkey population and a limit of 1 bird. Their first and second season often has snow on the ground and really cold temps but I lucked out and caught beautiful weather in the second season and many turkeys gobbling.

If you're set on certain dates in a certain area, it may take you two years to get the tag, but if you have options then I would recommend grabbing a leftover tag if you don't draw and still getting out there this spring.

General Forum / Re: 10,000 Nebraska turkey tag...

Quote from: deerhunt1988 on Today at 11:15:11 AMSo are they going to drop the quota to 5,000 then? If not, that would make things even worse. You would then have 10,000 non-resident turkey hunters.

Maybe a small quota reduction since the Nebraska flock numbers are still trending the wrong direction, but I wouldn't expect it because that will hit the state's bottom line too hard. They will try to sell the same amount of tags while providing opportunity to more hunters, but reducing individual opportunity from 2 to 1.

The place I hunt in Nebraska was absolutely covered up in turkeys 5-6 years ago and was a very easy hunt. The farmer told me just yesterday after talking about this tag ordeal that he hasn't seen a single bird while harvesting this last fall and has had no turkeys winter on his farm that always do so. Every winter the last few years he's seen great reduction, and this year that dropped to zero.

Nebraska's turkey hunting future is grim and it's not just from a tag perspective.

Quote from: HookedonHooks on Today at 10:41:44 AMI am almost certain that next year Nebraska will see a bag limit reduction to 1 for non-residents.




So are they going to drop the quota to 5,000 then? If not, that would make things even worse. You would then have 10,000 non-resident turkey hunters. Right now, probably at least half of those who buy a tag, buy two. Theoretically, 5,000 hunters could have the 10,000 tags.

Before the 10,000 cap and limit drop to 2, 5,000 hunters could still have been buying the ~15,000 NR tags they were selling.

Having hunted Nebraska a bunch before the cap, I went back for the first time since the cap last spring. I saw way more public land pressure with the cap in place than before the cap. So if they drop the limit to 1 and don't reduce tags, the public land will sure enough be a circus!
