Illinois hunters don’t waste time during the spring turkey season
Published: , in Outdoor News
An interesting but not surprising fact about the Illinois spring turkey season: Hunters don’t like to mess around.
The first day of the first-season segment has by far produced the biggest harvest the past two years. In 2025, hunters took a tad over 1,000 birds on Day 1 of Segment 1. The first day of the second segment had a harvest of about 850. Of course, none of those numbers matter to hunters preparing for the 2026 season, which opens April 6 in the south zone and April 13 in the north zone.
