MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin wildlife officials have scheduled the last two public hearings on their 2015-2025 turkey management draft plan. The meetings are set for February 10th at the state Department of Natural Resources’ Madison headquarters and for February 12th at a Stevens Point hotel. Key parts of the draft plan include using spring and fall hunting permit and harvest data to help gauge the size of the turkey population; monitoring hunter attitudes with a goal of maintaining at least a 70 percent approval rate; managing hunter numbers to keep interference rates below 30 percent; improve hunter access to private land; improving habitat; supporting oak regeneration, in turn providing more acorns for turkeys during the fall and winter; and studying hunting’s impact on turkey population growth.
