Spring Turkey Season Contest


Spring turkey season for the southeast counties of Oklahoma will open on Monday, April 20.   Members wishing to enter the club’s turkey contest must do so before the start of season.  The entry fee is $10.00 per member.  Winners are determined by the length of the turkey’s beard.  The turkey with the longest beard wins 50% of the entry fees and the 2nd longest wins 40% of the entry fees.  Each receives a plaque.  Entries can be paid at Silvey’s Tax service.  If you do not wish to get out due to the corona virus, just message the club and say you want to be entered.  The entry fee must be paid before you will be allowed to enter in any other club event.

The rules are fairly simple:

1.     Turkey must be taken in regular turkey season.  No bonus hunts, controlled hunts or special hunts allowed.

2.    Turkey must be taken in Pushmataha county or an adjoining county.

3.    Rules of fair chase must be followed and all rules set forth by the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation must be followed.

4.    Beards will be measured at the next club meeting following the end of season.
