There's still time to share your passion

If you haven't gotten out there yet, what are you waiting for?! The spring wild turkey hunting season is Monday, May 1 through Saturday, June 3. Life is busy... but the second you hear that gobble, you'll know you made the right decision. 

Consider inviting a friend, coworker, neighbor, or relative along! A simple invitation to join for the morning or night could be the start to a lifelong adventure for them, and maybe even a new hunting buddy for you. Just because they haven't hunted before doesn't mean they aren't interested. Keep them engaged by having them help call, use a range finder, or check for sign.

*Reminder that all turkeys must be registered. *Wild turkeys can be registered in-person at a registration station [ [link removed] ] or self-registered online [ [link removed] ].

We hope you have a safe and memorable hunting season!

Looking for a place to hunt?

Maine has over 17 million acres of extraordinary land available to hunters. When it comes to finding where you want to hunt, you have two options: *public land and private land*. 

MDIFW manages over 110,000 acres throughout the state, called Wildlife Management Areas. All MDIFW-owned Wildlife Management Areas (WMA), except Steve Powell WMA (Swan Island) and portions of Steep Falls and Killick Pond WMA, are open for general-law hunting and trapping. Find a WMA near you. [ [link removed] ]

If looking to hunt on private land, always ask for permission. Learn more about hunting on private land. [ [link removed] ]
