Abstract:

The wild turkey is numerous in some counties and nonexistent in others; however, nothing is known about what controls the turkey's distribution or various densities. Between 1934 and 1954, the state “lost” the wild turkey in fifteen counties, and the decline continues. To help to reverse this trend, the winter hunting season was recently abolished. Bailey discusses reasons for this.
