Hunters registered 47,722 turkeys in the 2010 spring season and 52,581 in 2009. The record Wisconsin harvest is 52,880, set in 2008.
The 2011 preliminary total represents the third consecutive drop in harvest and only the fourth year-over-year decrease since the state offered a spring turkey hunt in 1983.
The last five-day period of the 2011 Wisconsin season ended May 22. The DNR made 225,729 permits available for the spring turkey hunt, similar to recent seasons.
