WISCONSIN - The spring turkey hunt will start April 11, and Wisconsin DNR workers expect a good season.
Wildlife biologists say turkeys can survive tough winters, but they attribute this year's large flock to mild winters the past few years.
"We're really looking for birds that were hatched two to three years ago," says wildlife biologist Jeremy Holtz. "Those are really the prime target for turkey hunters, and because we had a strong hatch a couple of years ago, we've had pretty reasonable survival and excellent couple of growing seasons."
