Turkey season is here! In North Carolina, turkey season usually lasts from mid-April until early May. Eastern Wild Turkeys are one of the most recognizable birds in the Southeast and also have superior hearing and keen eyesight. If you want to stay ahead of the best eyes in the woods, having good camouflage is important. Each movement you make must be extremely slow to avoid almost any noise at all. Turkeys that are behind trees or are looking the opposite direction, is a prime time to shoot.

Remember, it is unlawful to:

Use dogs during spring turkey season.
Use any type of handgun or rifle to hunt wild turkey.

Go out and enjoy the challenge this spring of hunting wild turkey. If you happen to be lucky and catch your first (or hundredth) turkey, bring it over to Tim Knight Taxidermy to have your trophy come back to life so that you can admire it for a lifetime.
