If you haven’t made it out yet to hunt turkeys in Utah’s backcountry there’s still time for a successful hunt. Seasoned hunters know that the latter part of the general hunt is tougher because most of the male turkeys have stopped gobbling. “This spring might be different though,” shares DWR upland game coordinator Jason Robinson. “Wet and cold weather has likely pushed the nesting season back a week or so, so male turkeys might be gobbling later into the spring this year.” To get hunting right away, buy your permit from a hunting license agent or DWR office. If you buy it online at www.wildlife.utah.gov , you won’t be able to hunt until the permit arrives in the mail which can take a few days. Permits are available through May 31st.
