The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department is requesting public assistance with its 2026 Winter Turkey Flock Survey. Residents are encouraged to report observations of wild turkey flocks through March 31.

This survey helps the department gather important information about wintering wild turkeys, which face challenges from severe weather and limited food supplies.

The department conducts this annual survey to track wild turkey abundance, distribution, survival, and potential food shortages or disease prevalence. This winter, the Wildlife Division has also launched a multi-year turkey research project across New Hampshire. Survey reports will assist in locating winter flocks to further this research.

List the town of your sighting and use the reference map to identify the Wildlife Management Unit (WMU) where the sighting occurred. Note that WMUs are depicted by a capital letter and that some WMUs have both a letter and a number in their label, for example A, B, D1, D2, E, etc.

The attached Map shows New Hampshire Turkey Management Units. The Town of Belmont is in management region J2.
