November 5, 2012
(JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., AP) — Missouri turkey hunters reported taking nearly 8,500 birds last month, a 20 percent increase from October 2011.
Conservation officials say the outlook is good for the upcoming spring turkey season. That’s after a string of seasons in which Missouri’s turkey population struggled because of wet weather that can be difficult for ground-nesting wildlife.
