Less Spring Turkey Permits to be Issued

The Wisconsin DNR is reducing the amount of over the counter Spring Turkey permits in certain zones due to losses in the turkey population this winter. See all the details in this article from Wisconsin Outdoor Fun.

MADISON — Remaining over-the-counter permits in Turkey Management Zones 6 and 7 will not be issued and over-the-counter permits in zones 4 and 5 will be reduced by 25 percent in response to hunter feedback requesting a conservative approach to the number of permits issued for this spring's hunt, due to concerns that increased winter mortality has depressed turkey numbers.

Although Department of Natural Resources biologists recognize that spring harvests do not play a significant role in wild turkey population dynamics, it is clear that prolonged periods of cold and deep snow have impacted turkeys throughout the northern part of the state.
