Boost the wildlife potential of your hunting property
LITTLE ROCK The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission and its partners in conservation are hosting special workshops throughout the state to help landowners improve the wildlife habitat on their property, Whether your focus is deer, turkey, quail or the many non-game species that depend upon healthy habitat, AGFC biologists want to help.
Clint Johnson, AGFC Private Lands Program biologist, said the workshops include a variety of topics and techniques that are low cost, but have significant effect on the property’s wildlife-holding potential.

Rhode Islanders encouraged to report sightings of wild turkey broods
PROVIDENCE – The Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management is asking the public to report sightings of wild turkey hens – both with a brood of baby turkeys and without – and tom turkeys to help with research efforts. Information gathered from the public is helpful in determining the number of young birds that survive after common causes of mortality such as predators, weather, and roadkill are considered.
To align DEM’s survey methods with those developed by the National Wild Turkey Federation, the survey has been modified from previous years. The survey window runs now through Aug. 31 and includes observations of tom turkeys to get an idea of the male to female ratio in Rhode Island’s turkey population. This survey traditionally provides the division with hundreds of brood reports annually and could not be completed without the help of citizen scientists.

Each July and August the Iowa DNR needs your help determining how successful wild turkeys were nesting this season. If you see a single turkey or group of turkeys during July and/or August please report your sighting provided in the link below.
According to the National Wild Turkey Federation, current estimates in Iowa for the turkey population is around 150,000. Nationwide, the population estimates are over six million.
The DNR asks that you please note the date and county that you saw the turkey(s), if it was an adult male or female, and how many poults were present (baby turkeys).
