This wary animal is known as the “Wild Turkey”, it can be either the smartest and / or dumbest bird on earth, all during the same hunt. Both Arizona and New Mexico have large populations of Merriam’s Turkey. Arizona has an up and coming population of Gould’s Turkey.

Our Northern Arizona operations offer the best opportunity to harvest a Trophy Merriam’s. These ‘Turks’ can be found at elevations ranging in elevation from 4,000 feet to 8,500 feet,  and are found from the eastern mountains all the way north to the Mogollon Rim.

They are very elusive and at times can be very difficult to locate. However once located the “EXCITEMENT BEGINS” with the calling and gobbling in of these birds.

Arizona offers two separate hunting seasons, for Turkey. “Spring Gobbler Only” runs Mid April through late May with the Fall Hunt in Mid October. To hunt Turkey, in Arizona, you do have to draw a permit with the application deadline in October for Spring Hunts and June for the Fall Hunts. Many offered hunts run a 50% draw success rate! Arizona also offers a “Youth Spring Hunt”, in April providing a super opportunity for a ‘first hunt’ situation, to get that youngster started. Just remember you must apply for this lottery draw permit.
