The weather conditions have been great for hunting lately, are you prepared for youth turkey season? Youth turkey season is for those who are under the age of 16, so you can take advantage of this time and go hunting with your friends and family. Youth turkey season begins April 3rd and regular turkey season will start on April 10th.

Here are a few reminders to help you during this season:

1. Never wear red, white, blue, or black when you're out hunting. These colors mimic those of a tom's head and body.

2.) Leave the area if you think another hunter is there. Make sure you are wearing blaze orange so you are visible to any other hunters.

3.) Never stalk a turkey. This can increase your chances of being mistaken for other types of game.

Make sure to bring your next harvest to Knight's Taxidermy after your next hunting trip so that we can bring your trophy to life so that you can enjoy your memory for a lifetime. Good luck to all of you this Spring!
