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.

This is going to be my first year with a boat good enough to go at the turrs. Just curious do most people pick them by hand or use a picker. I don't like them skinned unless they are bottled. Also, what type of right do people use to keep them from getting soaked in blood?

Well I guess the season is over for me. It will be the seals next. Untill next year.

Don't understand why people shoot something, just to let it rot. Makes no sense what so ever. Not only turrs, I've seen rabbits, ducks and so on. Give it away if you have to but don't dump it.

That's wicked

Heres a disturbing thought! Average 10 really good days this year with average 50 boats per day with average 3 men per boat thats 1500 people, average 40 shells per person a day thats 60000 shells a season on average at 1-1/8oz is 67,500 oz of lead or 4218.75 pounds of lead, thats alot of lead on the bottom ! Not trying to create a negative thread towards lead, just a disturbing thought!

Yes like a load of turrs found in a dump that were fresh.
