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.

Out turr hunting off fogo this week only got 8 birds, seems to have missed them by a week.  They were plentiful last week.  The wind was of land for 3 days prior though.

Anyone got any report for other areas?

So, anybody have anything to say about the season, good, bad,etc.  I know it has been two bad years for conception bay area, travelled to St. Marys, Placentia and Pettey Harbour area and manage only 30 birds total(for the boat).  How was the res of the island?
