Wild Turkey hunting regulations.

Spring turkey seasons run from late February in Florida to mid-May in the upper Midwest, timed to coincide with the gobbling phase. Fall seasons (where offered) target either-sex birds and are more about scattering flocks and calling singles back. Calling skill — diaphragm, slate, box, and gobble calls — is the dominant technique. Turkey hunting requires patience and an honest read of the breeding phase: pre-breed gobbling, peak breeding silence, and post-breed regrouping each call for different tactics.
