The second stage of a two-year GPS tracking study in Wisconsin designed to gain insights into hen turkey nesting behavior and movements, while also measure poult survival, is off to a strong start.

A review of last year’s results led the researchers to make only minor tweaks in the methodology and technology employed for this next phase.
