I am proposing to designate the wild turkey as Wisconsin’s official state game bird because of its deep-rooted history, widespread presence, and special place in Wisconsin’s outdoor traditions.
The turkey is the ideal candidate for this honor. As a hunter who has pursued turkeys across the state, I know the dedication and skill required to harvest one of these majestic birds. The turkey is not just a game bird – it is a symbol of Wisconsin’s conservation success and hunting heritage.
