Indiana's spring turkey youth season will be April 18- 19. The special season is open to hunters age 15 or younger. Youth hunters are limited to one bearded or male wild turkey.

To participate a youth hunter must be accompanied in the field at all times by an unarmed adult who is at least 18 years old. The youth must be in possession of either a youth consolidated hunting license or an apprentice turkey license. The adult does not need a license.

An apprentice license is available to youths who have yet to complete the requirement of hunter education.

A list of check stations is available in the 2008-2009 Hunting and Trapping Guide or go online to wildlife.IN.gov.
