Spring Turkey Gobbler Season Opens April 9

Print

Spring turkey season runs April 9-May 15.   Residents must have a conservation and upland game bird license along with their turkey license and nonresidents will need a conservation license to purchase a turkey license.   The spring season turkey license is $5 for residents and $115 for nonresidents.

Hunters are reminded that only the eastern portion of Chouteau County is open to general turkey hunting, and the area is correctly described in the printed regulations.   But the map in the 2005 spring turkey hunting regulations incorrectly shows the entire county as open to general wild turkey hunting.   The portion of Chouteau County open to hunting includes that portion of Fish, Wildlife & Parks Region 6 north of the Missouri and east of the Marias rivers.   The FWP Region 4 portion of Chouteau County is closed.

Spring Turkey regulations are available on FWP’s web site.
