Legislative Progress
Key Points
- The Senate officially named March 15, 2025, as "National Osceola Turkey Day." This date was chosen because it is the day that turkey hunting season opens up across the entire state of Florida.
- The resolution recognizes the Osceola turkey, which is a specific kind of wild turkey that only lives in Florida. Hunters often consider it a unique challenge because it lives in swampy areas and has a very small home range.
- This action highlights the economic impact of hunting and conservation. Turkey hunters spend about $77 million a year, and the money from their hunting permits helps pay for protecting over 1 million acres of wildlife habitat in Florida.
