Turkey Hunting
Pennsylvania is home to the Eastern Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris). Our Turkey hunts take place on our 2,700 acre private ranch. A limited number of hunts each season allow us to maintain a good success rate on mature birds. We are located in Wildlife Management Unit (WMU) 4D.
Turkey hunters must possess a valid Pennsylvania Hunting License and Tag(s)
PA Licenses available for purchase at many outdoor retailers.

The youth season is a great way to get kids into hunting and help them to be successful. Pennsylvania’s early youth season precedes the regular turkey season allowing youth hunters (under 16) no competition from adult hunters and for them to get to hunt the birds before hunting pressure becomes a factor. Nothing makes a kid want to be in the Outdoors more than an action packed successful first outing. The youth hunter is allowed to take one bird during the special youth season. A parent/guardian over 18 is required to accompany the youth on the hunt. The parent/guardian does not need a hunting license and is not permitted to carry a gun. Youth rates also apply for regular season hunts.
