For Minnesota turkey hunters, a record harvest within reach for a second straight year

Jacob Busiahn, of Duluth, Minn., watches the sun rise during a turkey hunt in southern Minnesota. Through this past weekend, hunters had shot 15,335 turkeys this spring. Through the same time period a year ago, when a record harvest eventually was realized, hunters had shot 15,318 birds. The season continues through May 31. (Photo by Eric Morken)

If harvest numbers are a good indication of the turkey population’s health, then Minnesota bird numbers are currently in a good place.
It’s possible this spring that hunters could set a new harvest record – just one year removed from the high mark was set in 2024, when hunters shot nearly 16,660 birds. Total harvest through this past weekend was 15,335 birds. That’s just above last year’s mark at the same juncture of the season.
