WDFW is putting a focus on wild turkeys in Washington over the next several weeks to help new hunters learn all they can about turkey hunting. The monthly hunting highlights on myWDFW.org will be replaced with informative blog posts all about spring turkey hunting throughout the season, which runs April 1-7 for youth and April 15-May 31 for the general season.

Be sure to check back regularly for posts on turkey behavior, hunting strategies, turkey hunting gear, and plenty of tips from WDFW staff who are avid turkey hunters eager to help you find success! Be sure to check out last year’s Turkey Takeover at the link below or by clicking here.
