Indiana Turkey Draw for Reynolds Creek Gamebird Habitat Area

The drawing will be at the Kingsbury FWA office at 10 a.m. CST on April 6. To be eligible for the drawing hunters must present their 2013 turkey license and they’ll be given a numbered badge. A computer generated random draw will identify the successful hunters for choice of the hunt periods. Hunters will be drawn as individuals only. If successful you may give your hunt to a youth hunter 17 years old or younger.

Once a bird is harvested the hunt is completed. There are no “stand by” drawings. If successful you will be given a special permit card with the hunt period you selected. Keep this card with you at all times. You don’t have to check in at Kingsbury, you can go directly to Reynolds Creek. If successful at the Reynolds Creek drawing you will NOT be eliminated from any other DNR turkey draws.

The hunt periods are:

• April 24,25,26
• April 27,28
• April 29,30, May 1
• May 2,3,4
• May 5,6,7
