Saturday, June 27th, 2015 -- 8:25 AM
(DNR) - State turkey hunters registered a total of 40,975 birds during the 2015 spring turkey hunting season.According to Department of Natural Resources officials, this is a 2 percent decrease from the spring 2014 season. Zone 1 again produced the highest overall turkey harvest at 11,558 birds, followed by zones 2 and 3, where hunters registered 10,344 and 9,960 turkeys, respectively. The number of permits issued for this year's hunt decreased slightly, by approximately 1 percent, from 210,496 to 208,250.
2015 fall season permit applications are available. A strong spring season should provide state hunters good reason for optimism regarding the upcoming fall hunt. The fall turkey season provides Wisconsin hunters with a very different type of hunt from the spring season. In the fall, hunters generally try to catch turkeys moving between roosting and feeding sites, or scatter a flock and try to call in a bird as the flock reassembles.
