HARRISBURG, Pa. — The Pennsylvania Game Commission is asking residents to report any wild turkey sightings across the state through August 31 as part of its annual summer survey.

The sightings help state biologists track turkey reproduction and population trends. Observations can be submitted online using the agency’s Wild Turkey Sighting Survey platform.

According to the Commission, all locations reported are kept confidential and used solely for conservation purposes. “Your submitted observations help state biologists monitor turkey reproduction and population trends,” the agency said in a public message.

Key Points

  • Pennsylvania residents are encouraged to report wild turkey sightings until August 31
  • Submissions assist biologists in tracking population and reproductive data
  • All data is confidential and used strictly for wildlife conservation

The survey plays a key role in monitoring Pennsylvania’s wild turkey populations during critical summer months.
