Wisconsin: Perfect Weather Equals Bumper Turkey Harvest
Hunters are like farmers in a way, they both pray for good weather. There must have been some prayers said in WI. Not all the numbers are in but it looks like WI turkey hunters may have set a new spring harvest record. Some 51,306 turkeys were tagged this past spring. That's a 9% increase from the 2006 spring harvest. The statewide hunter success rate was also upped to 25%, in 2006 it was 23%. WI saw good weather this spring. Lets keep our fingers crossed—and say a little prayer—that the grouse benefited, too.
