Kentucky Fish and Wildlife says surveys show a great turkey hunting season looks to be coming up soon.

Kentucky’s spring hunting seasons get under way with the youth-only turkey season on April 5 and 6, followed by the general turkey season from April 12 through May 4.

The KFW Wild Turkey Program says an unusually high number of younger birds were found during winter netting and leg banding research, which aligns with productive hatching numbers in 2024. The season should be especially beneficial for younger or inexperienced hunters as younger birds are typically easier targets. Public lands hunters should focus on prescribed burn sites at wildlife management areas as turkeys favor areas of regrowth.

No more than two legal turkeys may be taken per spring season. Hunters may only harvest one bearded turkey per wildlife management area and no more than one bird may be taken per day. Find more information on hunting regulations and license requirements in the KFW’s Spring Hunting Guide, available at fw.ky.gov.
