Turr Hunting
Information
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.

I must be out of touch. Its been about 20 yeras ago since I was out. Are people really that nuts, out drag racing for turrs. Sad part it sounds so stupid, it must be true. What happen to the day of going out for a bit of fun. We used to enjoy the day on the water. Usually followed by a couple of cold ones that evening and a little bragging about the best shot. Sounds like them days are gone.

Very true peter, that's what gives hunters like the one who do it by the book a bad name.

We need greater enforcement of the rules and regulations on the water. Anyone caught over the limit or selling the birds should be dealth with to the fullest extent of the law.

Good points Kevin. Tell me there are not too many boats out when fellas are drag racing for turrs. Fellas in long liners had no trouble getting a feed of turrs 5-10 years ago but how many go out now??? Very few!! No point really with the way fellas rip up the bay with the bullet boats!!

I don't like the fact that people are selling turr's, giving a fella a meal yes why not. As for people going out more than once in one day well they are just looking for it.
