Murre (turr) hunters:


All hunters must purchase and be in possession of a Migratory Game Bird Hunting Permit and a Habitat Conservation Stamp while hunting murres. This hunt is only open to residents of Newfoundland and Labrador. Murres are the only migratory bird that can be legally hunted from a power boat. Any occupant of a boat who shoots or retrieves murres, or anyone who operates a boat to pursue murres, is hunting as defined in the Migratory Birds Regulations and is required to hold a Migratory Game Bird Hunting Permit.

In Newfoundland and Labrador, non-toxic shot must be used to hunt migratory birds, except for murres (turrs). For those birds still hunted with lead shot, remove the lead shot before cooking whenever possible in order to reduce your exposure to contaminants.

in the rules and reg it says you are allowed 20 per day and 40 in your possesion per person,if you have three guys in a boat does that mean your allowed 60 turrs for that day,or is it 40.

Gentleman if the name calling continues I will shut down this group to comments. Everyone has a right to voice their opinion. We love a good debate but the name calling stops now!!!!

It's not worth the effort talking to you , I am just telling you what I see first hand talk to me in 5 years and tell me if there are still turrs like there are now. You can't kill stuff twice.

Childish....u have no idea what your talkin about buddy of mine got one with a band last year.......the bird was banded in the states sothere ya go.the birds are everywhere and anywhere if the whitefish aint there there turrs arnt either.that don't mean we got em wiped out.do more research dummy. turrs were never in conception bay like placentia bay
Comment by Noah Pittman on February 24, 2012 at 8:05pm
I dont think you have a right to tell someone to grow up by the way u are getting on. I can remember when people killed that many turrs as well who was to say the damage wast done then. There are still turrs but why are there no turrs in trinity bay and conception bay now ???? With regards to being jealous because I never got my limit you don't have a clue who you are talking to. And that's the most child like thing I ever heard. It's not even worth the effort to talk to you.
