New Hampshire: Snitchin’ on Turkey Flocks
The NH Fish and Game Department wants to know if you’ve seen a flock of wild turkeys this winter. Don’t think of it as actually snitching on the birds, but helping Fish and Game keep track of latin name. This is the second year the state has asked it citizenry to report sightings. Go to the Fish and Game website from now through March 31 to fill out a short survey. The survey fills in the gaps of existing winter flock data especially in eastern and northern parts of the state. Last winter over 1,500 flocks totaling nearly 24,000 turkeys was reported from all over the state. The survey asks participants to report the number of turkeys in the flock, location, type of habitat the birds were observed in, and what the turkeys were feeding on. You’ll also be getting a jump start on your spring scouting.
