The turkeys you have seen in the fields throughout Door and Kewaunee counties will be on notice later this week. Local Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Conservation Warden Chris Kratcha reminds turkey hunters that the 2024 spring turkey season opens this Wednesday, April 17. He shares some vital gun safety reminders all hunters should follow when heading out to the woods to bag a tom.
Kratcha emphasizes the importance of planning your hunt and hunting your plan. He says the mild winter will probably mean more birds on the landscape for hunters.
The 2024 spring turkey season will run from April 17 through May 28 and includes six, seven-day periods running Wednesday through the following Tuesday.
