An Act To Amend The Bag Limit For Turkey

This bill (LD 205) requires Maine's Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife to set the same bag limit for wild turkeys as for ruffed grouse. It directly affects hunters who pursue either species, as it eliminates separate limits for turkeys. The key provision mandates that the maximum number of turkeys a hunter can take in a season must match the existing ruffed grouse limit. The department must adopt implementing rules under existing state law.
