Turkey season in Pennsylvania begins on November 1, with varying durations across Wildlife Management Units (WMUs), including an extended Thanksgiving season in some areas. Both male and female turkeys are legal game, and hunters must tag their harvests and report them within 10 days. The successful conservation efforts have led to a significant increase in wild turkey populations, allowing for expanded hunting opportunities since the mid-20th century.
