In North America, there are several subspecies of wild turkey available for hunting. These include the Eastern, Osceola (or Florida), Rio Grande, Merriam's, and Gould's turkeys.
Turkey hunting season varies by state and subspecies. Typically, there are spring and fall seasons. The spring season usually targets gobblers (males) during their mating displays, while the fall season might allow the take of both hens and gobblers. Always refer to local regulations.
Calling is the predominant method. Hunters often use mouth calls, box calls, or slate calls to mimic the sounds of hens or competing gobblers to lure birds into shooting range.
While shotguns have an effective range of up to 50 yards or more with modern ammunition, most hunters prefer to shoot at turkeys within 20-40 yards to ensure a clean, ethical harvest.

Turkeys have exceptional eyesight. They can see in full color and can detect movements from a distance, which makes hunting them a challenge.
Turkeys are most active during the early hours, often flying down from their roosting trees at dawn and calling more frequently during their morning routines.
Absolutely! Wild turkey meat is lean and flavorful, making it a favorite game bird for many hunters.
The length and wear of the spur, the condition of the beard, and the overall size can be indicators. Older gobblers generally have longer, more curved spurs and thicker beards.
