Read the 2010 Turkey Hunting Regulations Brochure (4MB PDF) for more information. Besides licensing fees and season dates, the brochure also has great tips on handling game meat and addresses health concerns with lead. The spring turkey season runs from April 10 to May 23.

If you'd like a hard copy of the brochure with paper applications included, you can pick one up at a local Division of Wildlife office or license agent. If you're out of state, see the brochure order form for non-residents.
