Fighting injustice wherever rules discriminate against the fall turkey hunting dog tradition.

Fall turkey hunting with dogs is currently allowed in 29 out of 44 states with fall seasons: CA, CO, HI, IA, ID, KS, KY, MD, ME, MI, MS, MT, NC, ND, NE, NH, NJ, NV, NY, OH, OR, PA, TN, TX, VT, VA, WV, WI WY.
In 1992, only ten states allowed dogs for fall turkey hunting (CA, CO, NE, NY, ND, TX, VT, VA, WV, WY).
Every year more states have fall seasons, and more states allow turkey dogs.
By 2004, hunters in 12 more states enjoy the sport (HI, ID, KS, KY, MD, MI, NC, NJ, NV, OH, OR, TN) in 36 states.
In 2005, IA and MT allowed dogs for fall turkey hunting, for a current total of 24 out of 43 states with fall seasons.
In 2007, ME, MS, NH, PA, and WI allow dogs for fall turkey hunting, for a current total of 29 out of 44 states with fall seasons.
States that don't allow the practice: AL, AR, AZ, CT, FL, IL, IN, MA, MN, MO, NM, OK, RI, SD, WA.

Ontario, Canada is proposing an approx. 2 week fall hunt in certain units. The MNR posts it for public comment on the Environmental Registry, and identifies the contact person. The deadline for comments is March 04, 2008. MNR will then review all the comments, make a decision and then post the decision on the Registry. The Regulation Proposal Notice contains a map of the units, but no mention of fall hunters using trained dogs to prevent crippling losses.
GOOD NEWS update 1/25/08: "The word I got last weekend from this Ontario Fall season was that if this season passes, dogs will be allowed in the fall turkey season. I guess there is a section all ready that states that dogs can be used on any game unless otherwise stated. The ER has no mention of dogs in the fall season, so this issue would fall into place." A. H.
Update May 30, 2008: Dogs will be allowed, opening season dates are October 14-26 in Wildlife Management Units 64, 67, 68, 73, 76, 77, 78, 81, 82, 84, 89, 90, 92, and 93. A. H.

Scroll down for the states, in alphabetical order.

"I like the idea of hunting turkeys with dogs, it should be legal everywhere, and I think will be eventually. It will make fall hunting much more popular, and assist in reducing the crippling losses which are presently very high in hunts without dogs."
Lovett Williams - read about dogs and more in Lovett's book: Wild Turkey Hunting & Management - available at his site.

"An e-mail survey was sent to agency wild turkey biologists in 49 states and one Canadian province.
The recipients of the survey were members of the National Wild Turkey Technical Committee.
Responses via e-mail or telephone from 37 states and the province of Ontario reveal:
The number of turkey hunters using dogs for fall hunting is very small, and;
Two reasons were cited for the lack of concern about hunter success with dogs and potential for turkey population impact.
First, there seems to be no data to suggest that turkey hunters using dogs are significantly more successful than those who do not. Second, the number of turkey hunters willing to properly train, house and feed a specialized turkey hunting dog is small."

"A good dog never dies, he always stays, he walks besides you on crisp autumn days when frost is
on the fields and winter's drawing near, his head within our hand in his old way." -- Mary Carolyn Davies

If you live in a State where hunting turkeys in the fall with your dog is still not allowed (AL, AR, AZ, CT, FL, IL, IN, MA, MN, MO, NM, OK, RI, SD, WA), or you'd like to work with others to amend the rules (like lengthen the season), send us your contact information.

--- Everybody Wants Turkey For Christmas ---

We hear this about hunting turkey with dogs: "It's a rare and minor infraction of an obsolete rule that's no longer applicable." And this: "the wardens don't enforce it anyway, so why bother?" Because it's an injustice that needs to be righted (in certain jurisdictions). The traditional fall and winter seasons date back to the 1400's, much older than the spring season (1950's), which only came about as a way to stop shooting the hens that were just transplanted. Now, we have hunters from their teens to their eighties who think THE time to hunt turkeys is in the spring. Actually fall and winter have always been the traditional time for the harvest, and hunting of all game, primarily because the turkeys are more abundant, and they taste much better in the fall than in the spring. The mean life expectancy of wild turkeys is only 1.3 to 1.6 years, so it makes sense to harvest them in fall, because so many won't make it through their second winter anyway. We want everybody to have turkey for Christmas, that's why we work to change the rules for future hunters, and for those who long for the old time tradition.

Arizona - Legal methods of take for fall turkey includes shotgun slugs, .17 & .22 magnum, any centerfire handguns and rifles, muzzleloading rifles, blackpowder handguns, bow & arrow, and crossbows, but NOT WITH A DOG. You can hunt Blue Grouse, Chukar Partridge, Pheasant, Quail, Bear and Mountain Lion with a dog, but NOT A TURKEY. Inside AZGFD. Rulemaking Process. Tell the Rulemaker you'd like to see them change the rules. Arizona 2007-2008 Hunting and Trapping Regulations [PDF, 8.85mb] UPDATE 2008 - thanks to your comments, centerfire rifles, muzzleloading firearms and handguns are no longer legal methods of take. Looks like shotgun slugs and rimfire are still allowed, but not dogs for hunting fall wild turkey yet. AZ 2008-2009 Hunting and Trapping Regulations [PDF, 6.26mb]

Indiana - We killed about 13,193 gobblers in the spring of 2006, up from 11,159 in 2005. Indiana’s fall turkey season ran from Oct. 1 to Oct. 22 in 2006 (10/1 to 10/23/2005), guns are allowed during the last 5 days only. In the fall of 2005 we killed about 716 birds, and 584 in the fall of 2006. It took 11 years to get our fall turkey season started. 2007 is our 3rd year in the 3 to 5 years we’ve committed to evaluating the fall season under a conservative season framework. During the time we considered various proposals for fall turkey hunting there was considerable opposition to fall turkey hunting, with many issues raised, including the opposition to the use of dogs. As in many other states, our turkey hunters are primarily interested in spring hunting opportunities over fall hunting opportunities. The turkey hunting tradition in Indiana, as in most Midwest states, is build around spring turkey hunting which we have been able to do since 1970. Fall turkey hunting in Indiana is very new (2005 first season) and our hunters are still learning about fall turkey hunting.
In contrast to Wisconsin, we do not have good grouse populations and few grouse hunters. Our grouse populations have declined to very low levels and so have our grouse hunters. Most of our bird dog hunters focus primarily on quail and pheasants. We have also had a long tradition of field-trials often involving open country style hunts involving dog handlers on horseback. Our other major dog hunters pursue rabbits (primary beagles), raccoons (hounds), waterfowl/doves (generally retriever breeds), squirrels (mix breeds) and fox/coyotes (hounds & mix breeds). Most dogs used for hunting in Indiana have not been bred for use in fall turkey hunting like you would encounter in Appalachian states. There is a long fall hunting tradition in the Appalachian states and dog lines developed for turkey hunting are useful in locating turkeys in those extensive mountain areas. Getting any hunting regulations changed is an educational process and it’s often based on the public’s perception or opinion. The department holds periodic administrative rule hearings where citizens are invited to make proposals.

Iowa - dogs are allowed beginning in 2005 for residents. The legislature restricts the number of permits for nonresidents, and those are all sold in the spring. You can use a dog in any matter you see fit. Hopefully the scatter and call back method will get more popular as hunters learn about it. The issue in Iowa is that only 7 or 8% of the state is forested, and while there’s deer and turkeys in the other areas, that’s where most hunters hunt. Guiding, outfitting and leasing has grown in popularity, and excluding the residents because hunts can be sold to nonresidents. Iowa is the second lowest, or the lowest, in acres of public land in the country (map, map). A little over 1.5% of the state is public, there's no national forest, and very little wildlife refuge lands. Private land is getting tied up, it’s just starting to be an issue there. Residents are complaining to the legislature. The department is trying to find a balance. That’s another reason they’re in favor of dogs for the fall season. Fall permits, a habitat stamp fee, and a general small game hunting license totals $49 for residents, or $189.50 for nonresidents (none available). Iowa has the longest fall/winter season of all states that allow dogs - 139 days.

Kansas - hunters are allowed to hunt turkey with their dogs and there's a four bird limit. Peach the devil dog would be proud.
Wild turkeys gobbling up eastern Kansas by Mike Belt for the Lawrence Journal - World

Maine - A fall turkey hunting season with dogs is being considered. Update new fall shotgun season Oct. 13-19. Update August 24, 2007: A new fall shotgun season and with dogs approved in Maine for fall 2007. If you're serious about fall and winter turkey hunting, Steve Hickoff's new book is a must read: Fall and Winter Turkey Hunter's Handbook
More turkeys to hunt equals increased opportunities in New Hampshire and Maine.

Minnesota still doesn't allow turkey hunting with dogs. No wonder, when in International Falls, Minnesota it is still against the law for a dog to chase a cat up a telegraph pole, and dog owners can be fined for this. But then it's also still against the law in Minnesota to hang male and female underwear together on the same washing line.

Mississippi - The fall turkey permits are only good on private land. In those counties the permits go to private landowners, they don’t have to shoot the turkeys themselves, they can let anyone that’s legal do it (necessary hunting license required). Landowners need 100 acres for the 1st permit, 500 acres for each additional permit (600 acres = 2 permits, 1100 acres = 3 permits, etc.). The rules specifically say dogs are not allowed in the spring, but by omission, they're allowed in the fall.
Update June 2008: Mississippi amended the season for fall 2008 (pdf). There.will be one continuous season October 15 to November 15th. One of the best allies a turkey hunter can have is the Mississippi Raccoon Hunters Association, they keep the raccoon population down.

Missouri - We hear from a number of residents that hunt Missouri in the fall with their dog. When asked how can they do that, they say Show Me why they need a law for something everybody already does.

"Nevada Administrative Code 503.147 states, 'It is unlawful to hunt, chase or pursue: (Section 3) Any wild turkey with a dog from March 1 through June 30 of any year.' By omission of reference to any other time period, the pursuit of turkey in the act of hunting by use of a dog is permissible. Short answer: You can hunt turkeys with a dog in the fall." Craig Mortimore, Upland Game & Waterfowl Staff Biologist, Nevada Department of Wildlife, June 27, 2005

New Hampshire is proposing a fall 5 day shotgun turkey hunt in some units for 2006. Notices for Proposed Rules
[Click on 2006 Rulemaking Notices: * Wildlife rules (Word Doc, 204KB) -- Comment deadline April 25, 2006]
NH plans to sell 5 day permits, but not allow you to use a dog! We predict the results will be very few hunters got very few turkeys. Rhode Island made a similar mistake: "First, fall turkey hunting was a dud. Plenty of complaints, though, about not enough public info, season too short..." They should be ashamed, selling 4 or 5 day fall turkey licenses. Especially since you can't use your dog. Fall turkey is one of the most challenging hunts there is, and hunters who shell out for a license should be able to use their dog. AWTHDA recommends that you do not buy a permit. "At this point in time there is no proposal to allow dogs for the fall shotgun season, so you would not be allowed to use a dog during the fall shotgun turkey season."
New Hampshire Fish & Game Dept. 3/22/06

"I've guided turkey hunters in VT since I was in my 30s. I'm not at all sure just how many years now, that VT has allowed fall turkey dogs as part of our fall hunt, but this much I'm sure of, it has NOT influenced fall turkey hunting one iota. Dogs have always been an integral part of the hunting genre. I've owned bird dogs for much of my adult life and had a rabbit dog to hunt with when I was younger. Though I've not taken the time and patience required to get either of my dogs into turkey hunting, I'd be very supportive of anyone who did. What possible reason could anyone have for being against such an activity, in NH or elsewhere? Best Wishes," Jim Paige Middlesex, VT
UPDATE June 2007! THANK YOU Jon Freis, Jim Paige and Steve Hickoff for making a difference.
DOGS ARE NOW ALLOWED during the NH fall turkey season, to facilitate the hunter in breaking up the flocks.
More turkeys to hunt equals increased opportunities in New Hampshire and Maine.

Ohio fall turkey hunters now have a two week season in October. Approximately one percent of the turkeys are harvested during this season. We have plenty of room to add an additional two weeks of fall hunting in December after deer season. If you would be willing to help on this issue please email me and we can get this done, and extend our days afield and turkey hunting experiences. Marlin Watkins. Update January 2008 - After 4 years of effort, the Ohio DNR is proposing an extension of our fall turkey season. Our old season was the last 2 weeks of October. Then you could hunt with a bow until the Sunday after Thanksgiving. They are proposing to the wildlife council having the fall season run from mid-October until the Sunday after Thanksgiving, with gun or bow. This was my proposal to them last year. All fall OH turkey hunters are urged to attend the state district meetings (held at all district offices in OH) March 2 from 12 noon until 3:00 PM to show support for this proposal. Contact Marlin Watkins for more info.
Update April 20, 2008: Fall turkey hunters will be able to hunt the entire season from October 11 through November 30 with a shotgun, muzzleloading shotgun, bow or crossbow. This new rule adds 35 days to the previous season for fall turkey gun hunting. Nine additional northeast counties will also be open for fall turkey hunting, bringing the total to 46 counties.
Ohio regulations allow hunters to use a leashed dog to help recover a wounded turkey during the spring season.
This should be allowed in every State, but really, leashing a good dog only hinders it in finding a wounded bird.

Oklahoma still doesn't allow turkey hunting with dogs. But then it is still illegal to make faces at a dog in Oklahoma, a crime that could result in a prison sentence.

Pennsylvania turkey hunters have an opportunity to get dogs allowed for their fall season. Seventeen percent of the public comments received by the Game Commission were regarding the use of dogs (Jan. 2006), and the issue will now be included in the Wild Turkey Management Plan. Join the hunters interested in supporting the effort by getting on the mailing list - contact Ron Shealer.
In the News: Centre Daily Times (page 8), Tribune-Review, Post-Gazette, Tribune-Review, Patriot-News, Patriot-News. PA State Senate passed the turkey dog legislation. It took 15 months of hard work by a lot of dedicated people to change the rule.

South Carolina - "Turkey hunting regulations are similarly muddled. On private land in 11 counties in the Low Country the season opens on March 15, while the rest of the state waits until the beginning of April. Likewise, and you can couch it delicately if you wish, but I won't. DNR spokesmen flat-out lied to sportsmen when the fall turkey hunting season was "suspended" the better part of two decades ago. Promises were made, in public hearings, that the traditional season would resume once hatch levels increased. That debt remains unpaid and seems unlikely to be paid so as long at the present wild turkey biologist holds sway.
He is adamantly opposed to fall hunting for turkeys -- not on the basis of hard science or sound biology but rather because he just doesn't like it. Yet the country's pre-eminent authority on turkeys, Dr. Lovett Williams, has told yours truly on more than one occasion that there's nothing wrong with fall hunting where populations will sustain it."
Jim Casada wrote that in The Herald (January 1‚ 2006)
Rev. Zack Farmer said that Archibald Rutledge and Henry Davis "thought it an abomination that people were allowed to shoot gobblers during the spring season and likened it to shooting fish in a barrel. They thought it much more sporting to bust up a group of turkeys in the fall and call them back in and hunt them by stealth than use hen calls during the mating season to bring even wary old birds running foolishly to gun." The Times and Democrat Orangeburg, S.C.

"Tennessee does allow dogs to be used while turkey hunting, both in the fall and in the spring (if anyone ever uses them in the spring.) For fall turkey hunting, we have a limited number of counties which allow hunts. Hunting is allowed one of three ways.
1. If a county (let's use Hardeman as an example) has a quota hunt, anyone can apply for the Hardeman county hunt and if the
big computer in Nashville pulls out their name, they can hunt with a shotgun during the limited dates specified on the permit.
2. If a person owns land in Hardeman county, he can hunt during those dates with a shotgun on his own land without a permit.
3. Since Hardeman county is open to shotgun hunting for landowners and permit holders, it is also open to anyone who is deer hunting with archery equipment during any of the archery-only deer hunts. In other words, if it is the archery season, and you are deer hunting in Hardeman county, and a turkey walks by, since Hardeman county is open to the quota hunts, you could shoot the turkey." Alan Peterson, Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, Nov. 23, 2004
If you'd like to see the fall season lengthened, collaborate with L.F. Cox.

Vermont - has fall hunting seasons for turkeys in most WMU's, you can use your dog, and take one turkey of either sex. All of their wild turkeys originated from 31 wild birds that were live-trapped near the Pennsylvania border in New York in 1969 and 1970. Wild turkeys previously existed in Vermont until the mid-1800's.

Virginia - Longbeards ask DGIF to reinstate four more weeks of fall turkey hunting time. From the Fincastle Herald.
Virginia Department of Game & Inland Fisheries are tracking 2 year old gobblers with radio collars and leg bands to record 2 months of spring gobbling and gather other interesting data.
"The board is considering a change (2007) in Eastern Virginia that would start the four-week late segment of fall turkey season a week earlier, but it decided not to pursue that change in Western Virginia... the board tweaked a proposal to shift the second segment of the fall turkey season. John Byrne of Bedford County said the change wasn't needed in Western Virginia, where figures show no major uptick in the adult hen kill during that week." Virginia game officials begin study on hunting with dogs.

Washington Our turkey population in the far eastern side of Washington is booming. Both Merriams and Rios. In fact, the state has expanded the turkey season in the fall with special permits and a general open season. And Washington turkey hunters are able to shoot 3 turkeys a year... two in Eastern Washington and one in Western Washington. One of these days we may very well have the chance to use dogs during the fall turkey season.
June 27, 2005 Department of Fish and Wildlife has extended the time period for the Draft wild turkey management plan available for public comment. Read the Executive Summary.
UPDATE 2/11/08: The fall regulations are being discussed at the upcoming (March and April) Fish and Wildlife Commission meetings and have not been updated on the Web at this time. We will be updating our season information after these meetings conclude. It is likely that we will have expanded fall hunting opportunity, especially in northeastern Washington.

wisconsin 2008 fall turkey hunt with dog

Wisconsin - The Conservation Congress voted at the 2007 Spring Hearings, for a pilot program allowing the use of dogs for fall turkey hunting in nine southwest Wisconsin counties in 2007 and 2008: Crawford, Jackson, Juneau, La Crosse, Monroe, Richland, Sauk, Vernon and Wood counties. At the 2008 spring hearings voters added an additional year to the pilot program, fall 2009. Click on pictures for larger maps. This was made possible by the AWTHDA, the NWTF-WI, the Wisconsin Association of Field Trial Clubs, the Wisconsin Association of Sporting Dog Clubs, but primarily the Wildlife Committee of the Wisconsin Wildlife Federation.
The Conservation Congress also voted to extend the fall turkey gun season from December 1 to December 31 (2009 at the earliest), allow non-resident students to buy resident licenses, and replace the registration stations with a phone-in registration.
In other states, when the turkey population is sufficient for a fall season, the fish and game departments allow dogs right from the beginning, primarily because all wildlife biologists agree that dogs conserve the resource by preventing lost cripples. In Wisconsin, informed citizens wanted dogs allowed since 2002, and now it looks like it could take another 3 or 4 years to get it allowed statewide, or 10 years overall! We're the envy of the nation because only in Wisconsin do citizens have direct influence on their natural resource decisions. Aldo Leopold would be pleased his ideas work, but he'd also have this to say: if you want to hunt turkeys with dogs, then you better get out and help.
Wisconsin has one of the largest wild turkey populations in the country, one of the longest seasons, and the most liberal regulations anywhere (half hour before sunrise to half hour after sunset, seven days a week, etc.). But the number one tool we have for eliminating lost cripples, the dog, is still not allowed statewide, because there's a few who don't understand trained hunting dogs, or who think calling to lovesick gobblers in the spring is the only way to do it. We enjoy spring hunting too, because we can. But we're passionate about hunting wild turkey in the traditional fall season, when their vocabulary is far different, and when they taste much better. We become better all around turkey hunters because of it. And the resource is better off when we use a trained dog, because then we never lose even one bird. Help us get turkey dogs allowed statewide sooner rather than later by showing your support. Join now. Or at least subscribe to our e-newsletter, the Turkey Dog News.

Train your dog for turkey, learn to hunt the fall birds, and enjoy turkey hunting that's not been like this for hundreds of years. WI registered (not estimated, like some states) 52,814 turkeys during the 2008 spring season, a 3 percent increase from spring 2007, and after the most snow and coldest winter in Wisconsin in 30 years! Their population growth is skyrocketing, do you think we should allow hunters to use a dog? Since dogs conserve the resource we'll have a bigger problem, more turkeys to kill? Maybe that's why it's so difficult to get this passed? You think? If you have the answer let us know.
Wisconsin had 27,385 extra fall 2007 turkey permits available after the initial drawing of 67,415 (94,800 total).
Of the extra permits, only 13,071 were sold. 14,764 went unsold.
Only one zone sold out (#25), and one other came close (#38). http://dnr.wi.gov/org/caer/cs/fallturkey/

"In the U.S., turkeys tied raccoons for second place behind deer for public complaints about
wildlife damage to field crops, accused of racking up in excess of $600 million US in damages."

If you are in need of wild turkey abatement, and tired of wild turkeys damaging the crops, disturbing domestic livestock, attacking children and pets, scratching up the lawn and cars, fouling the yard, driveway, and golf course with their scat (#45, 71, 82, 84, 85, 91, 96, 97, 99, 102, 108, 112, 113...) call the Nuisance Wild Turkey Fighters (NWTF). We're a non-profit wildlife management organization specializing in nuisance fowl control. We maintain a list of qualified individuals to eliminate the foul fowl. Our members are an on-call, rapid response team of turkey hunting experts available to local authorities when needed. We have sharpshooters and turkey dogs standing by. When animal control officers and wildlife agencies need fast service, our professionals are depended on to respond quickly and discreetly. Costs vary, depending on distance and the number of dogs required. We bring traps, guns,

and most importantly dogs to alleviate the problem turkeys. If you're bothered by the over populated nuisance fowl, call the NWTF, we're standing by to help. If you've exhausted all other methods of population control, we have an alternative, environmentally friendly method of chasing them away with trained turkey dogs. They will most likely return, but we solve that by getting you a turkey dog of your own.

While the above might be a little satire, we found a genuine need for a trained dog to harass sandhill cranes when a farmer asked me to keep the cranes off his corn field. He said; "last year they really did a lot of damage, you can tell it's cranes doing it because the plant is plucked from the ground" (picture below). The next morning we were up at 5AM. I sicced Keena on the big birds and she beelined across a 40 to chase them away. They didn't come back for 3 days. It doesn't hurt the crane (they see the dog coming and take off), and we get our exercise. MI, MN, and WI farmers were authorized to use a nonlethal bird repellent since 2006 for use on corn seed to deter sandhill cranes. The cranes walk along the row, pluck the plant out and eat the kernel that's still there. They only do that for 2-3 weeks (depending on soil type and temps), until the kernel disintegrates. The farmer greatly appreciated having someone monitor the fields for him, and we were glad to do it. Check first with binoculars if the cranes have young with them, they may not be as willing to take flight. "Bill stabs by cranes have killed humans and dogs (pdf)". The young might be hidden in the long grass nearby so approach cautiously, and keep the dog leashed until you're sure. If the cranes don't take flight by the time you're within 200 yards they may not intend to. The International Crane Foundation points out that scaring the birds off to the neighbors cornfield might not be any better. So, there's lots of considerations before putting your valuable turkey dog on a crane. If nuisance cranes are bothering the corn, or territorial cranes are causing damage to property or themselves by attacking their reflection in glass windows, write to the AWTHDA Crane Scarers. Professional, natural, environmentally friendly nuisance fowl control. The economical alternative to Avitec™.
