Fall bag limit?

[whitetail1971]

I am new to Kentucky. I have reviewed the regulations and am slightly confused by the “fall bag limit of turkeys”. Do the fall bag limits include any harvested turkeys from spring? I shot a Tom with over a 3” beard last spring, am I able to harvest another Tom in the fall? My assumption is the fall limit includes the turkey I shot in the spring. Thanks for the help!

Separate seasons, and separate tags and limits. Allowed one bird with a greater than 3" beard in the fall.

We are so low on turkeys that we've skipped shooting any fall birds the last few years.

Public ground is my preferred place to do that. Nobody trapping, completely overgrown feeding areas, they’re gonna die anyway.

Thanks guys! I’m definitely not shooting hens or jakes but there is a couple huge gobblers hanging around my deer woods. If I could shoot one gobbler with my bow I will be thrilled!

Have any corn out for the deer?

Negative, I am aware that you can not feed deer and hunt turkeys. I have planted several food plots that the deer and turkeys have been visiting.

We're over run with turkeys. Told my crew they're off limits cause of the corn we have out.

Those are some of my issues with kdfwr management of public lands. The autumn olives and cedars have taken over and nest raiders are prevalent

Elk biologist told me they currently don’t have a good solution for the autumn olive take over.
