MN Spring Turkey Season Begins

Turkey madness begins today.

The first of several hunting segments for the elusive toms is underway for those successful in the lottery. 

DNR Mentoring Coordinator Mike Kurre tells KLKS News, bagging one of the big birds is no easy task.  He says calling them in for a shot within 40 yards can be difficult.

Kurre says this past winter has been easy on the birds.  However, last spring and the previous winter was not. 

Youth 17 and under can purchase a license over the counter, but need an adult to accompany them on the hunt.
