Due to a mild 2011 winter and  a drier warmer 2012 spring, turkey nesting success was indeed excellent leading to a 28% increase in the fall harvest.  In the final weeks of the 2012 season many hunters reported large flocks of jakes which should indicate an excellent 2013 spring wild turkey season.Wisconsin Fall Wild Turkey Gobblers
