Patuxent Research Refuge Announces Spring Wild Turkey Hunt
The Patuxent Research Refuge, located in Laurel, Maryland, will be hosting a spring wild turkey hunting season in April and May of 2009. The refuge is partnering with the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF) and Meade Natural Heritage Association (MNHA) to offer this hunting season to youth, disabled, mobility-impaired, and general public hunters. Hunters will be selected by lottery. Lottery application forms are available on the internet at http://patuxent.fws.gov or by calling 301-776-3090. Applications must be submitted in person to either the Refuge North Tract Hunting Control Station (Mon. –Sat through Jan. 31, 2009) or the North Tract Visitor Contact Station (until 4:00 PM, February 28, 2009).
“This is a great opportunity for Patuxent Research Refuge and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to partner with local and national hunting organizations,” says Refuge Manager Brad Knudsen about the improved hunting opportunities.
Dates for Spring 2009 wild turkey hunts:
Youth Hunt – April 11, 2009
All other hunts – April 18 – May 23 (Saturday (youth) and Monday(adults))
Prospective hunters must have a Maryland hunting license, MNHA hunting permit, and a hunter safety card to be eligible. Disabled and mobility-impaired hunters must show a physician’s certification of disability eligibility form from their doctor when entering the lottery. Additionally, all selected hunters must pattern their weapon and attend a NWTF clinic prior to the day of the hunt, unless they have proof of previous attendance at a clinic. Hunters may contact the refuge to pre-arrange the assistance of NWTF volunteers to call in turkeys and choose hunting sites for the hunt day.
