Hunting Calendar

What can you hunt, and what's rutting? Pick a state and a month to see every season open that month and which big game is in rut, with the peak of breeding: deer, elk, moose, caribou, pronghorn, bison, wild sheep and goats, plus bear and turkey breeding seasons.

Rut timing is typical for each species and region and shifts a little from year to year. Season dates change every year; confirm them with the state wildlife agency before you hunt.
