The spring turkey hunt is right around the corner - introduce someone new to hunting today and join DNR experts for a spring turkey chat April 7 at noon.

April marks the beginning of another spring turkey hunt, and a strong year of turkey production in 2014 means hunters should look forward to another good season. Leftover permits went on sale on a zone-per-day basis March 23, and will be available for purchase until they are sold out or the season ends.

The 2015 Spring Turkey Youth Hunt will be open statewide April 11-12; this two-day hunt, which began in 2007, provides for one-on-one mentoring for future hunters in a relaxed atmosphere without competition for hunting spots from regular season hunters. Introduce someone new to hunting today!
