Senate Bill 481 would create a continuous statewide six-week spring turkey hunting season, eliminate geographical zones and do away with the preference system for awarding permits.
If signed into law, the bill would basically allow hunters to buy a turkey permit and go hunting anywhere in the state.

Wow - I remember the days of only hunting till noon!.......

While I bet they open the whole 6 weeks and may keep it to 6 - Five day seasons as it is now - and you will still need to buy a Kill tag as it needs to be controlled - I can see it coming.

i bet it'll happen. no doubt about it. our dnr is so screwed up right now(thats a nice way of putting it) that the bill will be passed

I feel that in the area I am in (Calumet County) would be a good thing. There are more turkeys here than deer and they do a LOT more damage to farmers crops. Maybe not to pass a bill but to allow it as a "control" tactic as long as it doesn't get out of hand like the deer control did.
