SAVANNAH, Ga. () — If you see a wild turkey in the next three months, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) asks that you log it with their survey.

The Turkey Poult Survey helps the DNR Wildlife Resources Division (WRD) is an important survey that helps track statewide and regional turkey reproduction.

Officials said you don’t have to make any special efforts to locate turkeys, just let them know if you see one during everyday activities.

Participants should record all data related to turkey poults, which are baby turkeys, hens with or without broods and gobblers.

If you don’t happen to see a turkey all month, you can record that in the survey as well.

The survey asks for the location of the area the turkey was seen in, like a WMA, state park or national forest. You can also use the map to select the area you saw it in.

You can log your observations during June, July and August.

The DNR asked that you do not log trail camera observations, since they could bias the survey results.
