Oklahoma is in turkey trouble. According to the department of wildlife conservation, the Rio Grande and Eastern species of the birds are on the decline. Now, state regulators could take aim at the problem to bring back the birds.
State biologists said the turkey population is at a more than 20 year low and they re not exactly sure what s causing it.
“While we expect wildlife populations to go up and down over time, it gets concerning when a population starts going down and keeps going down,” Micah Holmes with the Department of Wildlife Conservation said.
“One of the goals of the (National Wild Turkey Federation) is to increase hunter numbers across the board and when you don’t have as many opportunities, then that results in fewer hunters getting to go,” NWTF State Treasure Rick Nolan said.
