Abstract
Over the last few years, the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) has heard from turkey hunters, landowners, and members of the General Assembly with concerns about decreasing turkey numbers, lower reproduction, and declining harvests across the state. These issues are not unique to South Carolina and are occurring across the Southeast and Midwest. SCDNR shares these concerns and turkey reproductive data, harvest data and numerous research projects in South Carolina and across the southeast support these observations. During July and August of 2023 SCDNR hosted a series of five public meetings around the state to discuss the concerns and options for future management to address these declines.
