Here is a question for you.
Do they mean #1 and#2 and #3 and #4 or is it
#1 or #2 or #3 or #4?
I have a hole bunch of Turkys in my yard (only a couple Acreas) just waiting for cranberry sauce.
From the Maine State Fish & Game laws
"Any private landowner is eligible to hunt Spring Turkeys on their own land without a turkey hunting permit if: 1) that person owns a particular piece of land that is 25 or more contiguous acres in size and is located within the turkey hunting zone designated for the season that they wish to hunt; 2) that person is permanently domiciled on that land; 3) the land is managed for the raising and selling of dairy cattle, dairy products, or beef cattle; and 4) the land is open to hunting including hunting by permission. Any family member permanently domiciled on that land is also eligible to hunt Spring Turkeys on that land without a permit. A family member means any family member of legal hunting age, including spouse, children, grandchildren, etc. who resides on the property. A landowner must provide proof of eligibility if requested by an agent of the commissioner. All other standard reporting and tagging procedures are required. Turkey may be taken by a landowner meeting these requirements during any open week of the season."
LEGAL METHOD FOR TAKING TURKEY: Only shotgun gauges 10 through 20 using shot sizes 4 through 6, or bow and arrow may be used to hunt Spring Turkeys in Maine. Electronic calling devices are legal.
ILLEGAL HUNTING METHODS: No person may use dogs, bait, live decoys, or traps or other devices intended or designed for the purpose of capturing or ensnaring Spring Turkeys. It is unlawful to take a turkey while the turkey is in a tree. A person may not shoot or shoot at a wild turkey decoy of another person.
Does not say anything about Stacking (Still hunting) or shooting a flying bird vs a sitting bird. That would be quite a shot 45 to 55mph flying thru the woods.

just thought up a great Turky hunting accessory/Safety Gear. ALWAYS SELECT A CALLING POSITION THAT PROVIDES A BACKGROUND AT LEAST AS WIDE AS YOUR SHOULDERS. Shielding your back, from your head to your waist, will help prevent accidents and will decrease the chances of a Wild Turkey detecting any hunter movement.
Take a sheet of 1/4 inch plywood and cut it in thirds. 2'6" x 4 ft. Take another piece of 1/2 in ply and cut 3 pieces of 2 6" x 2' Glue & screw the 1/2 piece to the 1/4 in piece on the bottom edge. (this is your seat; maybe even put a camo foam custion on it)
drill a couple of holes in the sides 1/4 piece to use as carry handles. and a row of 1/4 inch holes along the top edge to tie in camo netting or cammo canvas( For rain)
Pait the whole board cammo. good project for kids. use local leaf patterns & colours.
add a couple of 16" bike weels to the bottom and you have a drag cart to haul gear or deer.
how to deploy: Prop up against a tree and bungee cord it. Sit down
Ill post a photo after I make one. Even better if it is made using scrap leftover plywood.
Cost? Negligable.
benifits: Hides the hunter. Makes a nifty windbreak, deer or gear drag, emergency shelter, and shields hunter from stray pelletts.
Hey this would work great for duckhunting in a marsh also!
NOTE: Be sure to use cammo rope/bungee cords etc.. Cammo Everything!
Caution: Disclamer! all Ideas are wildass and not to be construded as safe or recomended for any user of any age,race,creed colour, sex or nationality.
Warning: You may get a splinter when in the general procimity of wood. You may injure yourself using tools. You make like this gizmo and spend way too much time hunting resulting in discharge from employment, divorce or other malidays.
heres a target for those who do not wish to hunt turkeys
