SPRING TURKEY SEASON STARTS WEDNESDAY
Thursday, April 7th, 2011 -- 10:17 AM
The spring wild turkey hunting season begins on Wednesday, April 13th and state wildlife officials say hunters can look forward to a good spring hunt. They are also encouraging experienced hunters to consider taking a youth out during theApril 9 and 10 statewide spring turkey youth hunt. The two-day spring youth hunt,
successfully initiated in 2007, occurs each year during the weekend preceding the opening of the regular spring turkey season. The youth hunt allows close one-on-one mentoring of future hunters in a relaxed atmosphere without competition for hunting spots from regular season hunters. More than 225,700 permits were made available for this spring's hunt--the same number of permits offered for the 2010 spring season.
