Spring 2026 Opportunities
Featured: Eastern Wild Turkey
Dark, iridescent plumage; males have a "beard" and red/blue head skin. Spring in the Allegheny National Forest offers premier opportunities for gobblers. Focus on the oak-heavy ridges around Sheffield and the creek bottoms leading into the Kinzua reservoir. As the plateau greens up, scouting for fresh scratchings and listening for morning thundershocks near roosting sites is key to a successful Pennsylvania spring season.
