\n<\/b><\/h2>\n

According to DWR, there are approximately 25,000-35,000 wild turkeys in Utah. The two subspecies that live in the Beehive State are Rio Grande and Merriam\u2019s. Turkeys do not do well in harsh winters, and thanks to the mild winter we\u2019ve had this last season, the population is doing great.
