Despite the cold, snowy weather in Wisconsin and extremely high winds in Illinois, USSA turkey hunters were able to harvest their turkeys at an incredible rate! Over the weekend, 31 gobblers were taken by 36 special hunters, which translates into an 86% success rate! To put that success rate into perspective, the statewide average turkey harvest rate is 20-21% on a yearly basis!!
Having our USSA hunters experience four times the success rate of the state average is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our mentors, the determination and patience of our USSA hunters, the generosity of the landowners, volunteers, and financial sponsors, and the loving hand of God! Stay tuned for many pictures and fascinating stories! God bless!
