Spring turkey hunting begins April 17
Minnesota turkey hunting begins this month, with opportunities available from Wednesday, April 17, through Friday, May 31. The season is divided into six hunt periods, A-F.
Wild turkey hunting is popular in Minnesota and turkey hunting — including setting decoys, listening for gobbles and calling to birds — can make for an active and unforgettable experience. For anyone new to the experience, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has how-to guides and videos on a learn-to-hunt webpage (mndnr.gov/gohunting/wild-turkey-hunting.html).
More information and important season and regulation details about turkey hunting in Minnesota can be found on the Minnesota DNR website (mndnr.gov/hunting/turkey). Hunters concerned about avian influenza and wild turkeys can find more information about safe handling practices from USDA (aphis.usda.gov/publications/animal_health/fsc_hpai_hunters.pdf) and the response to the disease in Minnesota on the DNR avian influenza webpage (mndnr.gov/ai).
