Ontario Checkstations?
 

Just curious how far you have to drive to check your turkeys in this spring? Our local checkstation isn`t open this year and it looks like we`ll have to drive almost 20-25 miles. I have a feeling that alot of birds won`t get checked because guys don`t want to drive that far.

Why don't they get with it and do it digital, with say some photos and a report one could file online. Do any jurisdictions do this?

Isn't it mandatory to have the birds Checked regardless of your drive?

It is mandatory but I`ll bet only 65% of the birds around here are checked in. If they make us drive 25-30 miles very few will be checked. Remember enforcement is busy with the start of fishing season. In all my years of turkey hunting I`ve never seen a C.O.

I'm not in ontario and i don't hunt turkeys but i don't think drivin 25 miles to get a turkey check once a year is bad at all. personally i would be thankful thats all i had to drive. just my opinion.

Brampton Mike ,

I believe if you go to the O.F.A.H. site they have the list for 2004.

The OFAH sites list is incorrect. It states that the Rainbow Cafe in Port Hope is a checkstation but I know they are not doing it this year.

Thanks for the heads up Turk_man. I guess I should contact the check station in my area to see if they are stil open.[:o]

Just got my 2 turkey tags in the mail. They have a list of check stations included. It does not show the rainbow cafe but it still shows the one in my area. It states the list is current as of Mar.2,2004. If you want me to check for a specific one on the list let me know.
