Turkey hunt starts
If you want to hunt wild turkeys in Utah this spring, but you didn’t draw a limited-entry permit, no problem. Utah’s general statewide turkey hunt is about to begin. There’s no limit on the number of permits available for the hunt, so you won’t have a problem getting one. You can buy a permit online. Permits are also available at DWR offices and from more than 300 hunting license agents across Utah. Those who were 15 years of age or younger on Jan. 24 (the day results of the 2013 limited-entry turkey drawing were posted) can hunt starting Friday. Jason Robinson, upland game coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources, said turkeys are doing well, especially in southwestern and south-central Utah. “Southern Utah has a lot of turkey habitat, including lots of oak brush,” he said. “Turkeys do really well in that type of habitat.” Robinson said the number of turkeys across Utah should be similar to — or a little higher — than it was in 2012. He credits the optimistic outlook to a warm, wet spring in 2012 and the ability turkeys have to escape inversions. “Wet, warm weather in the spring gives hens more nesting cover,” he said. “It also provides more forbs and insects for newly hatched poults (chicks) to eat. Plenty of poults that were born last spring made it to winter.”
