By Dan Armitage It’s that time: Ohio’s 2026 spring turkey hunting season runs from April 18 through May 31, with separate youth weekends and two hunting zones. Hunting is divided into two zones to align with turkey nesting patterns: the South Zone and the Northeast Zone. The South Zone covers 83 counties, while the Northeast Zone includes Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, and Trumbull counties.
