This resolution officially names March 21, 2026, as "National Osceola Turkey Day." This date was chosen because it is the day turkey hunting season opens across the entire state of Florida.
The Osceola turkey is a unique bird that only lives in the Florida peninsula. It is one of five types of wild turkeys in North America and is famous among hunters for being difficult to track in its swampy home.
The resolution points out that turkey hunting is a big business that helps the environment. Money from hunting permits in Florida is used to fund programs that have helped protect over 1 million acres of wild land.
