Missouri's fall turkey harvest drops from last season

Missouri hunters harvested 1,633 wild turkeys during the firearms portion of the fall turkey season from Oct. 1-31. The preliminary total comes from the Missouri Department of Conservation, according to a community announcement. Greene County recorded the highest harvest with 56 birds, while Laclede and Perry counties each recorded 42. The total was down from the 1,950 turkeys harvested during the 2025 fall firearms season. Weather, wet spring might have contributed to decline MDC Turkey Biologist Nick Oakley said that unusually warm weather during the first two weekends of the firearms season might have contributed to the lower harvest. Wet spring conditions also affected turkey reproduction, according to the announcement. "Temperatures were well above normal across much of Missouri during the first two weekends of the fall firearms season, which likely accounts for some of the drop in harvest,” Oakley said in the announcement. “We also had a very wet spring, which hurts nest success and poult survival, so there are fewer young birds on the landscape this fall.” Fall archery turkey season continues Missouri's fall archery turkey season continues through Nov. 13. It resumes Nov. 25 and runs through Jan. 15, 2027. Current county-by-county fall firearms turkey harvest figures
