Vermont Business Magazine The Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department is asking for help in monitoring Vermont’s wild turkey population. The department runs an annual online survey during July and August for reporting turkey broods.
If you see a flock of turkeys in Vermont, the department asks you to go to the turkey brood survey on its website to report your observation, including where and when you observed the turkeys with the number of adult and young turkeys you saw.
“Information gathered from this survey helps us monitor long-term trends in the productivity of Vermont’s wild turkey population,” said Vermont Fish and Wildlife’s turkey biologist Toni Mikula. “It also helps us assess the impacts of spring weather on the survival of poults and adult turkeys which is an important in the management of turkeys.”
“We monitor and manage wild turkey numbers annually in order to maintain a healthy, abundant and sustainable population of these iconic and ecologically important birds throughout the state,” added Mikula.
“Please help us monitor the turkey population by reporting your Vermont turkey sightings during July and August.”
