Welcome

​Kentucky’s native wild turkeys are spending their summer days eating, moving and raising their recently hatched poults. The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources asks the public to be on the lookout for turkeys as they move around and share their observations to help biologists better understand and manage wild turkey populations in the state.

“Monitoring our turkey flock for its long-term conservation depends on teamwork,” said Zak Danks, Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Wild Turkey Program coordinator. “Fish and Wildlife staff can’t be everywhere all at once. That’s where hunters and wildlife enthusiasts across the state can really help, reporting turkey sightings to our survey.”
