Heat, Drought, Wildfires and Wild Turkeys

Published by Steve Hickoff | August 12, 2012

Heat, drought, wildfires and wild turkeys are making the news these days.

In Texas, authorities weigh-in on the loss of food for wild turkeys.

In Indiana the story is the same as biologists predict the 2012 drought will affect wild turkeys, especially young birds.

In Kentucky, white and red oaks are being watched closely as acorns are a major wild turkey food source.

In Wisconsin, regular Realtree.com turkey blog commentator "charlie elk" has some thoughts on the subject.

Officials are worried about drought affects in Missouri too.
