Other regulations
Party hunting is not permitted for wild turkey. You are permitted to call wild turkeys for another hunter after filling your own tag(s), but you must not be in possession of a firearm when doing so. It is illegal to use live decoys or electronic calls while wild turkey hunting in Ontario.
It is illegal to hunt wild turkey within 400 metres (437 yards) of any place where bait has been deposited unless the place has been free of bait for at least 7 days. Bait means corn, wheat, oats or other grain, pulse, any other feed that may attract wild turkey or any imitation of such feed. Note: Standing crops, crops stacked in accordance with normal farming practices and grain scattered as a result of normal farming operations are not considered bait.
