Wild turkeys plentiful this season
March 19, 2010 4:04 AM


State wildlife specialists say the spring turkey hunting season might be one of the best in a decade.



Steven Dobey, a wild turkey biologist with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, says the reason is record reproduction in 2008.

Dobey said in a news release that conservation officers and wildlife biologists counted 3.7 turkey chicks per hen in 2008, the most ever counted in the state.

Kentucky's 23-day spring wild turkey season begins April 17 and closes May 9. The youth-only weekend, for hunters under age 16, is April 3 and 4.

The fish and wildlife department says there are about 220,000 wild turkeys in Kentucky and some 90,000 people hunt turkeys in the state.
