“Turkey hunting is an exciting challenge, an American tradition and a great source of delicious wild protein,” says Brandon Dyches, ODFW hunter recruitment specialist. “Join us and find out why so many hunters get hooked on turkey hunting.”

Spring turkey season is open statewide from April 15-May 31 each year and there is also a fall turkey hunting season.
