flag Kansas bans fall turkey hunting and invests $856K to reverse a 40% population drop since 2008.

flag Kansas wild turkey populations, down over 40% since 2008, are the focus of renewed conservation efforts after the state suspended its fall hunting season in 2023. flag The Kansas chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation approved $126,000 in funding and pledged an additional $730,000 for habitat restoration, research, education, and youth programs. flag Funds will support invasive species removal, a Boy Scout project, turkey ecology and toxicology studies at Kansas State University, and a new habitat specialist position. flag Research backed by nearly $2 million aims to identify causes behind the decline. flag Despite the hunting ban, 13,862 turkeys were harvested in 2025. flag Wild turkeys, including Eastern, Rio Grande, and hybrid subspecies, remain in nearly every county. flag The decline follows earlier recovery after reintroductions in the 1960s, with numbers peaking in 2011.
