Cherokee’s spring turkey hunting season opens Saturday, April 12.  You are invited to participate as a field reporter and submit turkey harvest data to the Cherokee department of Fisheries and Wildlife Management.  This information is important to help the department maintain a healthy turkey population on Cherokee lands.  Please call 554-6113 after a turkey is harvested with some or all of the following information: location and date of kill, number of days hunted to kill the bird, turkey’s approximate age (adult or juvenile), turkey’s spur length, and turkey’s beard length.
