AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) Maine’s spring turkey hunt is entering its final days of the year.

The Pine Tree State is home to an active hunt for wild turkeys, which live all over the state. The season ends June 5.

Hunters can take two bearded wild turkeys in most of the state, though they are limited to just one in some parts of far northern Maine. They’re encouraged to check with authorities before hunting.

Maine officials have encouraged residents to get involved in hunting and other outdoor activities during the coronavirus pandemic. The state has also been giving out hunting licenses in exchange for vaccines.
