Season Dates and Bag Limits for Wild Turkey:
See more information regarding season dates and bag limits for hunting in Mississippi.
Mississippi's public lands are subject to special seasons and regulations that may vary from statewide seasons and regulations. It is always suggested to check the rules and regulations for the specific location you are interested in hunting before visiting. See more information on MDWFP's Wildlife Management Areas.
All turkeys harvested during the spring turkey season must be reported to the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks Game Check system. Game Check is now tied to the Wild Turkey Stamp or the free Exempt Turkey Game Check privilege. Click here for more information.
