The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department is asking for the public’s help in tracking wild turkey broods in New Hampshire this spring and summer. It’s easy to take part. The survey opens June 1. If you observe groups of turkeys with young between June 1 and August 31, 2018, report your sightings on NH Fish and Game’s web-based turkey brood survey at www.surveymonkey.com/r/2018_Brood_Survey.
“The information survey participants provide helps us monitor the turkey population,” said Kent Gustafson, NH Fish and Game Wildlife Programs Supervisor. “This survey provides reports from all over the state and adds to the important information biologists gather to monitor changes in turkey productivity, distribution, abundance, turkey brood survival, and the timing of nesting and hatching.” In 2017, summer brood survey participants reported seeing a record number of 1,784 broods. The average hatch date statewide in 2017 was June 21.
