Special permits are no longer required for turkey hunters headed to
Ravalli County this spring. An over-the-counter turkey license and
associated prerequisite licenses are the only requirements.

Turkeys are found primarily on private land in Ravalli County, and hunters
are encouraged to secure landowner permission before planning a hunt in the
area. Access may be limited in some areas.
The state total combined bag limit of the spring and fall seasons cannot
exceed two turkeys per hunter. Hunters may harvest only one male turkey in
Ravalli County during the spring season.
