2026 Spring Turkey Season Begins Today

The 2026 spring turkey hunting season begins today, according to the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks.

The department offers a seasonal forecast to help hunters prepare for the upcoming season. The forecast is based on observations shared voluntarily by hunters through the agency’s Spring Gobbler Hunting Survey.

Hunters interested in viewing the forecast or participating in the survey can visit the department’s website at this link.

MDWFP encourages hunters to contribute to the survey to improve the accuracy of seasonal predictions and support wildlife management efforts.
