Preliminary 2022 Spring Turkey Harvest Numbers Posted



The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources announced that preliminary totals show Wisconsin turkey hunters registered 39,007 birds during the 2022 spring turkey hunting season, a five percent increase from the 37,266 birds registered in the spring 2021 season.

The spring hunt began on April 16 with the two-day youth hunt. The regular season was divided into six separate one-week periods from April 20 to May 31. Different periods maximize hunter opportunities while minimizing interference for a more sustainable harvest.

For the 2022 youth season, there were 2,482 birds registered, down 25 percent from 3,308 in 2021. This is likely due to the late onset of spring across much of the state, resulting in poorer hunting conditions during the youth hunt.

A total of 220,026 harvest authorizations were issued for the 2022 spring turkey season, similar to 2021.
