Connecticut's Spring Turkey Hunting: Higher Limits & Thriving Population

About this episode

The episode discusses the extended spring turkey hunting season in Connecticut, highlighting increased limits and a thriving turkey population.

Connecticuts spring turkey hunting season, extended by a new law, offers hunters a generous limit of five bearded birds from April 29th to May 31st. This season sees a surge in non-resident hunters, with last years numbers showing 4,284 hunters bagging 1,219 turkeys. Residents need a $28 Game Bird Conservation Stamp and license, while non-residents require the stamp and a temporary permit. Landowners get a free permit, but all must follow the same bag rules. DEEP encourages fluorescent orange gear for safety. Once nearly extinct, Connecticuts wild turkey population has rebounded to 35,000, thanks to reintroduction programs and habitat conservation efforts.
