The feathers will fly beginning Monday!

Turkey season begins May 4th and will continue until June 6th.  A special "Youth Day" takes place Saturday May 2nd.

Any Mainer with a big game hunting license can purchase a turkey hunting license for $20, which allows them two turkeys this spring and another two this fall.

“Maine has some excellent turkey hunting,” said IFW game bird biologist Kelsey Sullivan. “Success rates are very good, the birds are lightly hunted compared to other states, and you can now hunt turkeys throughout the state.”

Legal hours for hunting turkeys is a half hour before sunrise and a half hour after sunset.
