[QUOTE="Oklahomabassin, post: 3765493, member: 1546"] WMA land is wildlife management land. Turkey season and morel "season" (referring to the time they are likely to be found) overlap. As you will see below that Hunting is first priority. The rule to prohibit the harvest of morels from WMA land is about Safety. As morel popularity and the number of people that seek morels grows it is a good rule. It helps to minimize the number of people in the woods while people are hunting turkey. It reduces extra intrusion in the wildlife habitat that has been set aside for hunting and fishing activities. Quoted from the ODWC regulations. [FONT=Avenir LT Std 65 Medium][COLOR=rgb(89, 89, 89)]"The primary objective on all lands owned or managed by the Department is the sound management and use of fish and wildlife resources resident thereon. Public use of Department-managed lands is permitted according to the following priorities: 1. Hunting, fishing, trapping, running dogs for sport and associated activities. 2. Other wildlife-oriented activities (nature observation or photography, and conservation education).[/COLOR][/FONT] 3. Non-wildlife related activities, when such activities do not conflict with the wildlife management objective (picnicking, hiking, backpacking, short-term camping, horseback riding). 4. Large group activities (military training, organized trail rides)." [/QUOTE]
