Vermont spring turkey 2026—two-week spring season, Fish and Wildlife tags, WMU boundaries, and Green Mountain timber scouting.
Vermont’s spring turkey season is WMU-based and short: Fish and Wildlife sets season dates, bag limits, and method rules that change with population trends. Eastern wild turkeys use hardwood ridges, farm valleys, and mountain edges—mud season limits road access in April.
- WMU: match tag to boundary
- Youth: youth weekend rules annually
- Reporting: register harvest if required
