Remember changes for fall turkey season
Fall turkey season is just around the corner. Before it starts, we wanted to remind you of key information:
- The fall turkey season is Oct. 1-Nov. 30.
- Each hunter may only have one fall permit.
- The bag limit allows the take of one turkey of either sex with a shotgun or archery equipment.
- All turkey harvests must be reported via Telecheck. Report your harvest online or by calling 1-844-279-4564. This information will be on your permit.
Make sure you have a permit in hand too. They're available online and at Game and Parks permitting offices.
