Cool, wet weather does not dampen turkey hunting as Minnesotans blow past season ‘A’ harvest record
The spring wild turkey-hunting season in Minnesota is just two weeks old, but the DNR reports a record-setting pace of harvest following the mild 2023-24 winter.
Nate Huck, the DNR’s resident game bird specialist, said the first week of the spring hunting season, season A, saw a harvest of 7,041 turkeys, according to preliminary reports. That tops the previous first-season record from 2020 with 5,827 turkeys taken.
