Printing Error On Fall Turkey Opening Day.

[blackbeltbill]

  On page 49 of the 2023/24 Regulations Guide covering " Turkey Hunting"- there is a Printing Error and the wrong opening day for the" LIGHT BLUE" area on the Fall Turkey map of New York State.

It reads- Oct 15th- 28th. 

 That is the wrong opening day...

 I just talked to a nice woman up at the DEC Headquarters  yesterday  about this as,I read about this elsewhere  and wanted to confirm it.

  THE OPENING DAY FOR THE " LIGHT BLUE" AREA ON THE FALL TURKEY NYS MAP IS OCTOBER 21ST.

   Don't  take my word for it- check the Website for the correct opening Date- " 21st" or call the DEC Yourself to confirm.

 Thanks for the heads up!

I thought the season seems to long for the fall opener. Now what happens if people follow the " official guide book," and don't use the DEC website?

So , if you shoot a turkey on October 15 and get pulled over , you can say that you went by the Regulations Booklet ?

I had that question as well.

  This is going to be Tough for the DEC to enforce. Really only a small Trickle of Turkey Hunters who hunt in the Light Blue area of the map will be aware of the correct- October  21st opening date.
