Find Hunts in Zone 7
This extensive zone encompasses much of the central region of the state. It is home to a healthy turkey population, consistently yielding impressive harvest numbers each year. The area predominantly consists of private land, with a diverse landscape that includes croplands, creek and river bottoms, and mature woodlands. While private properties generally offer the best chances for success, there are some worthwhile public access options available for hunters who are willing to do their homework. Start by concentrating your efforts on crop fields and regions near water sources, such as creek and river banks.
