Illegality?? Question....
 

I live in Michigan, soI knowthelaws may vary through different states.

If it is out of turkey season, and you are in NO possesion of any weapons, is it legal to call in and experience the turkey's in their natural state? I konw this may be a stupid question, because I figure, you can sit in your tree stand year round' without getting in trouble.

I ask this because I found an area with alot of turkey's on it but I won't be able to hunt them during season. I want to better my calls and my experience with turkey's. What do you guys think?

I do it all the time while photographing them. I am sure that it's legal, I have never herd any differnt.

It's legal here , but a lot of turkey hunters discourage out of season calling because they feel that it makes the birds call shy later .

I had a DNR come up to me in Iowa while i was blowing my goose calland tell me that calling geese out of season is animal harassment. I do it anyway that is BS. Go out and call those turkeys to try to better yourself, just dont have any weapons on you, not even a pocket knife. Have fun, and good luck during the season.

I've done it a lot here in Iowa. No reason it shouldn't be legal IMO. Maybe check the regulations first but you should be alright. Have fun and try to get some good pictures to share with us!!

That's one of the reason I love public land so much

RE: Illegality?? Question....
 

I would say its legal.

I do not like to call at turkeys in my hunting areas I hate to see other people doing it I like to observe them from afar with binos interacting amongst themselves you can learn allot by listening and looking as far as areas you will not be hunting that is up to you I agree with Mr. LOngbeard

Well...actually, here in ky, beginning the first of March, it is illegal to mimmick, call, or try to entice a turkey using the know sounds of a turkey until the beginning of the spring turkey season( April 15th).
