Turkey hunting is a popular outdoor activity where hunters pursue wild turkeys for sport or food. This type of hunting typically occurs in the spring and fall, when turkeys are most active. Hunters often use calls and decoys to attract turkeys and may employ various methods, including stalking or sitting in a blind. Safety is crucial in turkey hunting, as hunters must be aware of their surroundings and other hunters. Proper gear, including camouflage clothing and a shotgun or bow, is essential. Many states require a hunting license and specific regulations to ensure sustainable practices and wildlife conservation.
