Turkey Seasons are open

Wisconsin wild turkey hunting seasons continue through May 28.

Stock up with snacks for a day in the woods and fields. After a successful hunt, did you know that Louie's can smoke your turkey for you? Or get together with a few friends and we can make a batch of sausage of your choice with your wild turkey.

Good Luck!
