Turkey Hunting Season Opens April 15

Montana’s spring male turkey season opens April 15. Turkey hunters can purchase a turkey license for a general area at FWP offices, a License Ambassador location or online.

A new regulation requires nonresident hunters on public lands and privately owned lands that are a part of a hunting access program to wait 10 days later than residents for all upland game bird species except mountain grouse.

Regulations are available at FWP offices, license providers and online at fwp.mt.gov.

When transporting a spring turkey in the state on Montana, hunters must keep one leg and foot naturally attached for evidence of sex. Montana law requires landowner permission for hunting on all private land.
