Press Herald references UMaine, IFW turkey study
The Portland Press Herald referenced a turkey population study conducted by the University of Maine and Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife for the article “Hunters will not need to tag turkeys during Maine spring hunt this year.” The study, which began in 2018, involves the state IFW banding male wild turkeys to obtain more refined turkey population estimates across Maine’s 29 Wildlife Management Districts, according to the article. The study has one more year left and the agency hopes to have updated estimates in two years, said Maine Wildlife Division Director Nate Webb.
