Arizona Turkey Hunting

Arizona is home to the Merriam's turkey. In Arizona, they are found in much of the ponderosa pine forest north of the Gila River. In Arizona turkeys are classified as a big game species by the Game and Fish Department. Current Arizona turkey population estimates are between 15,000 and 20,000 birds, depending on conditions. Fall hunting is again by permit-only, and in the spring the number of gobblers taken is equal to or greater than the fall harvest.
