General Discussion

We lived there a long time ago. But it was in the rolling hills toward Christmas Lake where people were up in arms about these birds causing a ruckus breaking their TV antennas and generally thumping around on their roofs (roosting on their roofs). The police and DNR figured out that these were not true wild turkeys. But I think they thought the best management technique was to let nature take its course since there were critters who eat them all over the place (coyotes, owls, hawks, eagles, etc.).

The wild turkeys that make it to Duluth are usually wiped out quickly because they are too predictable (they show up at the same place and at the same time every day - pretty easy for predators to pick them off).
