Spring Turkey Season Hunting Permit Lottery



The DNREC Division of Fish and Wildlife conducts an annual lottery to issue permits to allow hunters to hunt turkeys on state wildlife areas during the spring wild turkey hunting season, which runs from April 11 to May 10 in 2026.

Turkeys are no longer registered at in-person check stations. All registration is online through the Digital DNREC system or by calling 1-855-DEL-HUNT.

These permits allow a hunter to harvest a wild turkey in a specific state wildlife area during a specific week-long segment of the season.

Season Segments
Segment A: April 11 – 17
Segment B: April 18 – 24
Segment C: April 25 – May 1
Segment D: May 2 – May 9

Permit applications are due by Jan. 6, 2026 and hunters must submit separate applications for State Wildlife Areas and National Wildlife Refuge Turkey Hunts and Delaware State Forest Turkey Hunts. Submission requirements are listed on each application.

In early January, all valid applicants are entered into the lottery and assigned a random number for the permit drawing. Permits are issued, based on draw number, from lowest to highest, until there are no remaining permits. Hunters successful in drawing a permit are mailed permit letters indicating the wildlife area and season segment that was awarded, along with a survey to be returned at the conclusion of the season. 

Following the drawing in 2026, awarded permits will be listed on this page, by license or LEN number.

For the 2025 season, 834 valid applications were entered into the lottery. There were 544 permits available. Applicants included 744 Delaware residents, and 90 non-residents representing 20 states. Permits were issued to 488 Delaware hunters (89.7%) and 56 non-resident hunters (10.3%) representing 15 states.

Permits Awarded in 2025, by License or LEN Number
