One flew through the living room window of a house across the street and they leave poop everywhere. I don't keep track of the count but we have about 25 that roam out neighborhood regularly. I could live without them.

Were they reintroduced from the Northeast? The wild turkey population has really taken off there in the past few decades; I have family in New England and almost every time I go back there I see wild turkeys (and deer, which my parents say weren't nearly as populous when they were kids in the '50s and '60s as they are now).

You can find them all over Ft. Snelling State Park...

These city people talking about eating turkey have apparently never ate wild turkey. It ain't no butterball. Smoked is the only way I like it. There's no "white meat" on one. It's dark meat..and darker meat.

Thanks Walz!

Turkeys are expanding their range in MN. i have seen them north of Park Rapids over 15 years ago. I am very concerned that they are displacing our ruffed grouse and pheasant populations and consider them problematic.

I love the turkeys! Grumpy old man complaining again....

the problem isn’t the Turkeys, the problem is unsupervised children and pets. What a terrible opinion after a really cool story. Do you even hear yourself? how ridiculous is the attitude that wildlife is the problem.
