New Hampshire Fish and Game says spring turkey hunting season will open per usual, with precautionary steps to help slow the spread of COVID-19, reports WMUR.
Officials recommend hunting in your local area, and making day trips rather than overnight stays at camps. Hunters are asked to travel from home alone, or only with immediate family members from the same household.
In a news release, officials stated, “Hunters are strongly encouraged to maximize pre-season scouting and be prepared with back-up locations if their desired spot is busy with other outdoor enthusiasts during the spring turkey season.” Hunters should register their birds online. Last season, spring turkey season led to the harvesting of 5092 birds.
Youth Weekend will take place the weekend of Saturday, April 25 while spring hunting will be open for the month of May.
