Arizona · Wild turkey
Turkey season in Arizona.
Arizona is the only state with substantial huntable populations of two subspecies — Merriam's across the high country (Mogollon Rim, Kaibab Plateau) and the rare Gould's in the southeastern sky islands. Both peak later than typical due to elevation. Gould's hunts are limited-permit and competitive.
