Sunday, April 12th, 2015 -- 11:13 AM
A plan intended to guide the management of wild turkeys in Wisconsin over the next 10 years received approval of the state natural resources board at its April meeting in Madison.'Ecology of Wild Turkeys in Wisconsin and a Plan for Their Management, 2015-2025' will guide decisions regarding the allocation of turkey permits, the structure of our spring and fall hunting seasons, the use of Wild Turkey Stamp funds and many other aspects of turkey management in the state.
The updated plan will guide turkey management through 2025, and will reflect recent scientific research and changes in turkey distribution and hunting tradition. While providing clear goals for the next decade of turkey management, the plan was also produced to allow hunters a transparent view of Wisconsin's turkey management program. It includes significant background on wild turkey ecology and the species' history in Wisconsin, and will be widely available both online and in hard copy form.
