Ontario Hunting License Practice Exam

What can only be harvested during the spring wild turkey hunting season?

1. Only males

2. Only females

3. Either sex

4. No hunting allowed

The correct answer is: Only males

During the spring wild turkey hunting season, only male turkeys can be harvested. This is because in the spring, male turkeys are more active and vocal, making them easier to spot and hunt. Females may also be pregnant during this time, so it is important to only harvest male turkeys to ensure the sustainability of the turkey population. Hunting during the spring season also helps control the turkey population, as it is typically the time when turkey populations are at their highest. Either sex (option C) and no hunting allowed (option D) are incorrect because they both indicate a lack of restrictions and regulations during the spring season, which is not the case. By specifying that only males can be harvested during this season, it shows that there are specific rules in place for the protection and management of turkeys. Additionally, only females (option B) is incorrect because, as mentioned earlier, it is important to only harvest male turkeys to maintain healthy population levels.
