For decades, wild turkey populations flourished thanks to one of the most successful restoration efforts in conservation history. But in many places, that success is fading. Turkeys for Tomorrow was created by passionate hunters and conservationists determined to understand the decline, fund critical research, and restore healthy turkey populations across the country.
Turkeys for Tomorrow (TFT) is partnering with the Hunt Regs app to harness the power of citizen science and generate critical data for wild turkey research. By allowing hunters to easily log turkey sightings, sounds, and behavior, the partnership aims to better understand population trends and guide future conservation efforts. The data collected could become one of the most robust wild turkey research efforts since the original restoration movement.
As predator populations rise and wild turkey numbers continue to fall, predator management has become a critical—yet often overlooked—piece of modern turkey conservation.
