Message From Our President

As I look out across the valley from my front porch I’ve noticed the leaves starting to change already.  It brings a sense of excitement to most of us knowing hunting season will soon be upon us.  But as conservationist that all NWTF members are, we also know that mother nature goes from feast in the fall to famine in the later winters here in New York.  ...Read More

Get Involved - Winter Flock Survey

 

Help NYS DEC Staff Keep an Eye on Turkey Populations

Start recording your observations of turkey flocks this winter by participating in the DEC's annual winter wild turkey flock survey. The information you record can help DEC staff monitor the status and health of wild turkeys across the state. Just print a turkey-sighting form, record the number of turkeys you see in a flock from January through March, and send in your results to the address noted on the form at the end the survey period. Visit the Winter Wild Turkey Flock Survey (http://www.dec.ny.gov/animals/48756.html) webpage to get your form and to view results from years past. In 2011, more than 640 reports were received, resulting in 10,200 birds counted in 49 of the 62 counties in New York State. Thanks so much for your help and continued involvement!
