Resolved: That the Commissioner of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife shall consider establishing, pursuant to the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 12, section 11701, a special youth turkey hunting day during the fall season that will allow hunters with a valid junior hunting license to harvest wild turkey. If the commissioner establishes a fall youth turkey hunting day, the commissioner shall consider a day that would encourage participation, take place when there is minimal competition from other open hunting seasons and more likely result in a successful harvest. These factors must be weighed against what is necessary to best manage the wild turkey population.’
