Wild turkeys may be anywhere now, guys. Fish & Game depts. have swapped
them around. I think ours came from North Dakota. Audubon members who feed
birds at their mountain cabin have seen a lot of them, but I haven't seen
them in the wild. Remember, a lot of our game animals are not
natives. Pheasants are Chinese, and Chukars are Hungarian partridges.
They've transplanted some Michigan fish into some of Idaho's northern
lakes. Maybe muskellunge, but I hope not. They fish for those with live
baby ducks attached to lines with hooks. Sob.

article on and sketch of a wild turkey. Margaret L
