The coronavirus pandemic has canceled dozens of spring traditions, but turkey hunting is going on largely unfettered.
Forty-nine states host a spring turkey hunt every year.
The birds, whose domesticated cousins grace Thanksgiving tables from Hawaii to Maine, are among America’s greatest conservation success stories.
The hunt is taking on a new look in some parts of the country this year due to social distancing laws.
Many states, including Maine, are requiring out-of-state residents to self quarantine for two weeks when they enter the state.
Other states, including Kansas, have suspended the sale of turkey permits to non-residents to reduce spread of the coronavirus.
