I believe the regs say you must be holding a tag from one of the seasons to acompany someone turkey hunting.

This law has always confused me. I know you do if you are going to aid the hunter in any way. Let me quick look it up and see what exactly it says.

The law states...A resident hunter having a valid spring turkey license for any zone or season may accompany, call for or otherwise assist another hunter who has a valid turkey license for any zone and season....So you dont have to have a tag any more, if you filled it and the license can be for any season or zone, not just the one your friend is hunting but the law says you have to have a license to even accompany someone.

The way I read the regs is that you can go with a buddy and call as long as you have a valid tag for any season or zone.

Yeah. That would be fine. You can call for them too. Like if I have a 2nd season tag and I fill it I can go call for a friend in his 3rd or 4th season in any zone. Hope that makes sense, so in the senario you gave me you would be able to call and help your buddy.

Thats ok. Just make sure you have the license with you. When you bought your tag they gave you a tag and a licese just have the license and it doesn't matter if you have filled the tag or not.
