Turkey Hunting Season Begins Sunday At Angle Fly Preserve

For bearded wild turkeys, this is not good news.  The Spring Turkey Season begins on Sunday, May 1st and runs through Tuesday, May 31st, according to the Somers Land Trust web site.


The hunting hours are one half-hour before sunrise to noon.  All hunters must pass a proficiency test conducted at Angle Fly Preserve and follow all applicable hunting regulations.

Angle Fly Preserve patrons should exercise caution during the turkey season hours of hunting. Don’t make turkey or animal sounds. Our hunters will be in camouflaged ground blinds, off the main trails. Park patrons should stay on the main trails during the turkey season, and not wander or explore during the turkey season hours of hunting.
