Is it just me or does there seem to be less turkeys this year? I hunt turks in Waupaca County, Wisconsin and I just have not seen that many. Other years, the fields in this area would be full of birds but not anymore. Is the WDNR managing the turkey population similar to the deer? What do others think in Wisconsin? Are you seeing as many birds like there was in years past?
i'm asking the same question as you man! i haven't seen hardly any turkeys, even after we get done spreading manure on the fields. usually there out there picking through it
I hunt Waupaca Co. as well and haven't seen hardly any turkeys either. I drive around all the time just to see if they're hanging out in the fields, and I agree, the numbers seem pretty slim in comparison to previous years. Maybe that big snowstorm in December followed by the rain which froze on top limited their food supply and many didn't survive the winter. Anyone else have any ideas?
A family friend of our owns his own insurance company and he said he can you tell how good the turkey population is because he usually gets quite a few claim of vehicles hitting turkeys and this year he hasn't had any claims. So it doesnt look to good. This is in juneau county.
