No turkeys for me -- except maybe Thanksgiving

[cat_man]

In Utah there are a very limited number of wild turkey permits, which you have to draw out for. They're becoming very popular, so it's tough to draw out. The wild turkey was basically wiped out in Utah a century ago, but in the last 10 years has been successfully reintroduced and numbers have grown dramatically. Every year they bring in some new turkeys from back East somewhere, then they also trap some from existing flocks here and move them to new areas in the state. Still, there aren't enough to go around yet. There is no fall hunt for turkeys in Utah, only a Spring hunt. You have to apply to specific area to hunt for them.
