Turkey Sightings
Both Indiana and Michigan DNRs seek everyone’s help in evaluating turkey populations.
You can help the Indiana and Michigan DNR learn more about the state’s wild turkey populations by reporting observations of hens with and without poults (chicks) through Aug. 31.
Anybody who observes wild turkey hens with poults or hens without poults is encouraged to report their observations online at DNR’s turkey brood reporting web page, on.IN.gov/turkeybrood.
For Michigan sightings, 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.
Observations take only a few minutes to report, and no log-in is required.
