* Areas for fall turkey
seasons will be
determined after 2006
spring turkey harvest
No more than one bird of
either sex may be taken
in the fall turkey
season, regardless of
method. A separate
turkey license is needed
for the spring and fall
turkey season,
regardless of success.
For example, if a hunter
is not successful for
the spring turkey
season, the purchase of
a fall turkey license is
still necessary to hunt
turkeys in the fall.
