The youth season is April 1 – 7, and the state- wide season is April 8 – May 6. Hunters are limited to two turkeys for the season, only one of which may be taken during the youth season. Chris Kreh, assistant chief of the N.C. Wild- life Resources Commission's Wildlife Manage- ment Division, said that in the 2022 wild turkey season hunters statewide recorded 20,576 birds harvested, including 1,777 birds that were taken during youth season. The total falls short of the past two years' record-breaking totals, however it remains strong compared to totals prior to 2020. Kreh confi rmed that North Carolina's wild turkey population remains ro- bust despite the increase in hunting pressure and harvest over the past few years. "Our agency has safeguards in place to en- sure that overharvest does not occur," Kreh said. "Five weeks of hunting is conservative compared to most states, and hunters must comply with a two-bird limit and may only take male or bearded birds." Kreh added that the timing of the state's har- vest season is strategic. "The season dates offer considerable oppor- tunity for breeding before males are harvest- ed. Hens are able to nest and raise poults as they always do." The youth season is open to anyone under the age of 18, and hunters aged 16 and 17 must have hunting licenses. Youth under 16 are exempt from license requirements provid- ed they are accompanied by a licensed adult who is at least 18 years old. Youth who have licenses or a hunter education card may hunt without adult supervision. All hunters must re- port their turkey harvest on a Big Game Har- vest Report Card.
