Hunting seasons in Gaziantep

Gaziantep: the open seasons for every game species, class by class, and where they differ from the dates that hold everywhere in Turkey. With Pro, the HunTracker app sends a notification on the day the main seasons open or close.

Gaziantep's own seasons: the national dates with the area's main deviations. The area's regulation in force prevails.
