Kemp Natural Resources Station Lecture

Wild turkeys were successfully reintroduced in southwestern Wisconsin during the mid-1970s and populations have since expanded far beyond their ancestral range and are now throughout the entire state. Chris Pollentier and Dr. Scott Hull (Wisconsin DNR) and Dr. Scott Lutz (UW-Madison), will discuss the general history of wild turkeys in Wisconsin, describe the recent research on turkeys, and share some of the initial findings from the first season of the current study in northern Wisconsin.
