2 different county prairie tags and a WI tag I still can get a Black Hills tag and 2 MO tags then a WY tag if I have the time for turkey.
Anybody else draw any tags this year?

Nebraska used to be unlimited, up to 3 tags per person. With the decline in numbers, it’s limited the last two years. I think other states are lowering tag numbers as well as the decline in numbers seems to be nationwide. Definitely declining here in my area of southern illinois. Edit and we are a draw state and only get 5-7 days to hunt them depending on which of the 5 seasons you draw.

Seems the coon and opossum population and the coyote have had a very hard effect on the turkey population. That's all across the country.

Sounds like fun Law Dog wishing you the best. I hope to see pictures of the grand slam year.

I hunted turkey with a passion during the 80' and 90's , 20's became a problem , haven't hunted them in 10 years now. I personally find only the breast worth eating, the legs are full of splinter bones, and not much meat anywhere except the breast. Similar to grouse, only bigger. Used to pluck them( big pain in the butt) roast them, and deep fry them. Last few , cut the breast into finger type pieces, breaded and deep fried, Dip in barbeque sauce , good eating. Noticed that roasted was good eating , but dry, and they tasted like the hickory nuts or ramps they were feeding on. Just interesting, and still good eating.

Prairie tags are a draw the Black Hills you buy online in SD. We had a season Black Hills tag and a late season tag (May) but they dropped the late tag. SD and WY both mover their opening day to late April.
WY has some draw areas and some general over the counter tags.

When tags cost more than a 20# butterball, ready to cook, I quit hunting them. After taking a couple with a bow, the novelty wore off, also.

I don't want them in the yard or garden. We do like to eat them, we fry the breast and giblets and pressure cook the legs and thighs with some seasonings. They are some of my favorite wild game to eat. I can sell the tail, wings, feet and beard and more then pay for the tags. No hunting expense except for a couple shotgun shells. In the fall we can get two or three at a time with cheap #8 shot.

The smart ones are a challenge in the National Forest areas here keep things interesting other places bwith wild bird no barnyard birds for me that’s not my thing. Chislic is the best way to eat them that I’ve found keep what little moisture in the meat sealed in there.
