The spring hunting season for turkeys is heading down the home stretch with harvest numbers currently similar to last year.
Tennessee turkey hunters have surpassed the 30,000 harvest mark for the 14th consecutive year. With less than a week remaining, the harvest stands at 30,376 as compared to 30,002 for the same period last year. The mark was passed during the next-to-last weekend of the season.
Maury County is on pace to be the top harvest county again this year with its current harvest at 895. Rounding out the current top 10 counties are Montgomery (828), Greene (715), Dickson (700), Sumner (653), Wilson (605), Stewart (553), Henry (548), Robertson (546), and Rutherford (506).
