Prominent Land Features

Rhode Island’s spring turkey hunts take place across gently rolling coastal terrain marked by a patchwork of mixed hardwood and pine forests, agricultural meadows, brushy thickets, and scattered wetlands. Hunters often work along field-to-woodland transition zones—using stone walls, fencerows, and early-successional clearings as natural calling points—while ponds, streams, and lowland marshes add diversity to the landscape. These varied cover types and the region’s lush spring growth create ideal ambush and calling opportunities during half-day morning outings.

Amenities

Rhode Island spring hunts are offered as guided, half-day morning outings across gently rolling coastal terrain with mixed hardwood and pine forests, agricultural meadows, brushy thickets, and wetlands. These are strictly day hunts with no provided accommodations or overnight facilities; hunters arrange their own lodging nearby. Sleeping arrangements, climate control, and meals are not included, so participants should plan to bring their own food and dress in layered clothing suitable for variable spring weather. All outfitter services focus on experienced guiding through transition zones and natural calling points, leaving lodging and meal planning to the hunter’s discretion.

Spring Turkey Hunt in RI - Half Day
Turkey hunts target male turkeys during the spring season from late April to late May, respectively. Hunts scheduled in Connecticut can be half or full day hunts, while Rhode Island and Massachusetts hunts are limited to half-day morning hunts per state regulations. During the hunt, Justin and the client(s) will actively pursue gobblers. Hunters will learn what to look for and interpret how male birds are interacting with breeding hens and using the environment. The objectives for spring turkey hunts include: understanding turkey habits and behaviors; learning location and calling methods and adapting to situational changes. Contact Justin to learn more about talkin’ turkey!
