Thanks to Turkey Gobble Count Volunteers
The Missouri Department of Conservation and the Missouri Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation has been conducting a study to measure daily and seasonal trends of gobbling by wild turkeys throughout the state from 2007 thru 2009. The study has been discontinued for the 2010 and 2011 study years.
Study volunteers participated by listening for the number of gobbles heard and the number of individual gobblers heard during a 20 minute period starting 45 minutes prior to sunrise for 2 days per week during the 8 week study period. The data was collected thru the public web and analyzed to study trends in spring gobbling activity.
Thanks for your participation and a job well done.
