DEC forecast on spring wild turkey hunting season: Adult gobblers could be scarce (New York: outdoor)

[ckhthankgod]

“ New York’s spring turkey season kicks off Saturday in all parts of Upstate New York. Hunters will likely see lots of birds, but fewer adult gobblers (mature male birds) than usual, according to the state Department of Environmental Conservation.

Last year, turkey hunters took approximately 21,500 birds in the state during the spring season, an increase of about 25 percent from 2019.”

Come to think of it I haven't seen any wild turkeys, and I usually do.
