The Michigan DNR urges sportsmen to help it monitor turkey populations by participating in the new annual wild turkey brood survey.
From July 1 to Aug. 31, watch for turkey hens with young (a brood) or any other turkeys and fill out the survey with seven short questions to help us better understand how turkey populations are doing in Michigan. The more participation and reports we get, the better the data will be.
Visit the wild turkey brood survey website for more information. The survey will only be available during the open period between July 1 and Aug. 31. Please provide a valid email address when submitting observations in the survey.
The Michigan wild turkey brood survey is part of a multistate survey that is supported by the National Wild Turkey Federation. For questions about the survey or turkeys in Michigan, contact the DNR Wildlife Division at 517-284-WILD (9453) or DNR-Wildlife@Michigan.gov.
