No other game bird has had more of an impact on the inhabitants of North America than the wild turkey. The species has directly influenced the lifestyles of both Native Americans and European immigrants and their descendants. Reduced by the early 1900s to mere tens of thousands living in isolated areas, the wild turkey has made a remarkable comeback, with some 4 million birds now living nationwide.
The Wild Turkey chronicles the history, biology and management of this noble bird in all of its diverse habitats. The Wild Turkey is designed to help the turkey enthusiast - biologist or sportsman - better understand and enjoy Americas great game bird by presenting a readable, standard reference on all aspects of the wild turkey. The book documents research, management, and restoration that, combined with the wild turkeys own adaptability, have made this comeback possible. Anyone who thrills to the strutting of a mature gobbler or the sight of a hen and her newly hatched brood catching insects will gain a more comprehensive understanding of this remarkable bird from The Wild Turkey.
The 24 chapters synthesize current knowledge into 4 broad sections: background and history, biology, habitat and management, and value and future. The chapters vary in technical content and nature, ranging from treatment of blood chemistry to procedures for skinning a turkey. Every facet of wild turkey biology and management is covered b the foremost experts in the field. The Wild Turkey represents hundreds of years of hands on research and management experience.
The Wild Turkey features nearly 400 black and white and 40 color photographs. More than 1,200 references will prove valuable to anyone wishing to pursue particular points of interest.
This enormous project is sponsored by the National Wild Turkey Federation and the USDA Forest Service. A not for profit, educational, conservation organization made up of state and local affiliates, the NWTF works for the restoration and wise management of the wild turkey. Incorporated in 1973, the NWTF helps fund wild turkey research and management, works to protect and improve wild turkey habitat, and promotes safe, ethical hunting. The USDA Forest Service is a leader in the conservation and wise use of the nations forests and rangelands. The USDA Forest Service manages nearly 200 million acres, including more than 28 million acres of wild turkey habitat; assists states and private landowners in applying conservation practices; and conducts research to find better ways to mange our natural resources.
