The National Wild Turkey Federation (click here) and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) recognize, in their respective turkey registry programs, any wild turkey harvested within or south of the counties of Dixie, Gilchrist, Alachua, Union, Bradford, Clay and Duval, to be the Osceola subspecies. Eastern turkeys and hybrids are found north and west of those counties in the Panhandle.

If you harvest a turkey with an 11-inch beard or longer and at least 1¼-inch spurs, you can get your name listed in the FWC’s Wild Turkey Registry (click here) by applying for an “Outstanding Gobbler Certificate.” There’s also a “First Gobbler Certificate” awarded to hunters under age 16 who harvest their first gobbler, regardless of beard or spur measurements.

Yes, you will need a valid Florida Hunting License and Also a Turkey permit.

We do our very best to manage our turkey lands every year. We do not over kill a track of land for the sake of tagging clients out. We take calculated number of birds per track so that we can have success in the future.

Florida’s limit is 2 Osceola’s per season and both birds can be harvested on the same day.
