Wet weather during nesting season ended a two-year run of strong reproduction.
JEFFERSON CITY–Fall turkey hunters throughout much of Missouri are likely to see more mature birds than they have in years past, but fewer young wild turkeys.
Conservation Department Resource Scientist Jason Isabelle says this year’s brood survey showed a statewide ratio of 1.3 poults (young turkeys) to each hen. That is down from each of the past two years, when the statewide poult-to-hen ratio was 1.7.
