In 1976, roughly 30 turkeys were re-introduced to Wisconsin. Today, nearly 250,000 tags are given to turkey hunters each spring. 

Taylor Finger, game bird ecologist for the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, walks us through the efforts that went into producing a healthy turkey population in our state. We also discuss turkey biology and how you can use science to help bag your gobbler.
