KFW asks for public’s help counting turkeys this summer
If you have been looking for a way to assist Kentucky Fish and Wildlife this summer, then you will gobble this news up.
KFW is asking the public to be on the lookout for turkeys and share what they see with biologists in order to help better understand and manage the state’s wild turkey populations.
Residents can report wild turkey sightings on the KFW Summer Turkey Brood Survey webpage, or by searching for “turkey survey” at fw.ky.gov. Survey information may be submitted on the website or through a mobile app. The summer survey window runs now through August 31.
KFW says the summer survey helps state biologists evaluate turkey populations over time. Hunters across the Southeastern U.S. have reported fewer turkey sightings in recent years. Turkey observation data from the public is considered vital in supporting research findings, and the data from the summer brood survey impacts KFW decisions on turkey hunting in the state.
Visit the KFW website for more information.
