hunting turkey questions

**jlb0305** · July 20th, 2015, 12:53 PM

I have two questions as a new hunter.
1) I know there was an option for bow hunting deer that was an additional fee, but does my basic license cover bow hunting wild turkey?

2) I know there is a minimum pull weight for hunting deer with a bow (35lbs I believe), but is there a min weight for turkey?

thanks

Read the guide.....it's in there. Then you won't forget it.

I did the hunter education and license both online so I haven't gotten the book or my tags in the mail yet. The website didn't really answer my question but I downloaded the gohuntpa app and that did.

It seems you found your answer but since I already logged in , you don't need a archery stamp to sling arrows at turkey.
I don't know if there is a min weight for that.
I couldn't picture using too little but it's common to reduce the draw weight from deer to turkey to ease the holding at full draw waiting for the turkey to come in.
