Through our 2023 commitment to wild turkey research, the NWTF has granted funding to an ongoing research project in Oklahoma. It aims to understand the decline of wild turkey and brood survival in the state.Through monitoring hen survival, poult survival, habitat selection and exposure to disease, researchers are taking a comprehensive approach to understand these issues at a deeper level.
This project is one of 10 new research projects across nine states the NWTF is funding, with $582,374 invested among these vital projects. These projects are part of a nearly $9 million investment into wild turkey research in 2023, supported by the NWTF, its state chapters and its partners.
