Extend the spring season by 1 week.

Start spring season earlier Do you have any good reasoning for doing that? We already kill plenty of Birds as it is. |

Completed it today. I'd sure like to see the brood survey report brought back as the most current one I found was 2022 (the last year that Backes was biologist). I'd like to I watched a youtube where the Georgia turkey biologist felt the poult/hen ratio was critical in determining bag limits. I'd like to see a more recent report showing where IN is as far as our ratio. 2022 report - www.in.gov/dnr/fish-and-wildlife/files/wmr/fw-MR_2078_Wild_Turkey_Brood_Survey_2022.pdf I would also like to see Fish and Wildlife dedicate one person (like Backes was) as the turkey biologist/program leader rather than as it is now....she has two positions. |

Personally, I believe that would make them easier to kill therefore making the harvest higher….not needed IMO |

Lengthen the season by one week but make the daily shooting time from 1/2 hour before sunrise till 1:00 pm.

I would like to see 2 separate 10-day spring seasons with one bird allowed in each season, with the first season starting about a week earlier than the current. This way everyone has a good opportunity to kill one bird, before anyone can kill their second. Also, there needs to be year-long unlimited bobcat season.

You do realize last year was a record Harvest and this year is the second-highest harvest ever…. |
