CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- With the start of spring gobbler season approaching, the West Virginia chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation is offering rewards of up to $200 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of people who illegally kill or possess wild turkeys.
Gobbler season runs from April 26 through May 22. The one-day youth spring turkey season will be held April 24.
West Virginia Division of Natural Resources Wildlife Resources Chief Curtis I. Taylor said it is illegal to poach wild turkey, willfully destroy their nests or eggs, or kill them using bait.
Reports should be directed to the local conservation officer or the local DNR district office.
Informants' identities remain confidential.

Yes, i also want all hunters to hunt by the rules and safe. Unfortunatly there are some ignorant people out there. For example, i once saw a man take a deer with a flame thrower...it was both wrong and immoral. So remember hunt safe!

Hope W Va not like KY by getting overrun with turkeys. Something needs to be done to the exploding population. Maybe more liberal harvests [1 per day]. Myself I would rather hunt deer and deer and turkey are competing for the same food. Also since turkeys are exploding there seems to be a reduction in grouse, some say turkeys eat young grouse and their eggs. Dont see no challenge in turkey hunting as my yard is full of them.
