The author, Dean Bortz, may not have succeeded at filling a Wisconsin turkey tag yet this year, but the father-and-son team of Claus, left, and Joe Kraetke doubled on a pair of toms during the same set-up on opening morning of the first season in Price County. (Contributed photo)

If you’ve already read this story from Outdoor News, then you know that the 2025 turkey season is off to a roaring start in Wisconsin. There’s no way of knowing how things will play out from seasons two through six, but as of the evening of April 22, we were on a pace to register more than 50,000 turkeys.
Alas, I can’t claim to have played any kind of role in that quick start to the season. Nor can Christine Thomas, one of our regular columnists and, of course, the gal of international conservation fame.
