More than 11,000 turkeys were harvested in April and May, a notable decline from the 2017 spring hunt.
(Undated) - Indiana turkey hunters harvested more than 11,000 birds this spring.
The harvest of 11,304 turkeys is a 14 percent decrease from the 2017 spring harvest of 13,069, according to the Indiana DNR Division of Fish and Wildlife. The spring hunting season was held April 25 through May 13.
Nearly 59,000 hunters went out in search of a turkey this year with only a 19 percent success rate.
The DNR says annual statewide spring harvests have generally stabilized since the peak harvest of 13,742 in 2010.
Hunters will also get a crack at wild turkeys in the fall. There are seasons for archery and for firearms.
