Spring
Turkey Hunting
The resurgence of the wild turkey in Missouri during the past 45 years has rekindled interest in this splendid bird. Take this opportunity to learn about wild turkeys, how you can enjoy turkey hunting and perhaps improve your chances of bagging a turkey. The season begins April 19. Youth season is April 10-11.
Eagle
Days
Missouri's winter eagle watching is spectacular, and we hope you'll join us at any of the following locations to view our national symbol in the wild. From late December through early February, watch for eagles perched in large trees along the water's edge.
