I hadn't seen that, thank you. :icon_thumright:
I can remember our DEC stocking birds here in the late 70's and the posters on fence posts along a backroad that read $500.00 reward for info leading to the arrest of anybody messing with them. I wish I had one of those signs.

I know where one is. It's old and in a old game check shack

My Great Uncle was part of a program here in the state of Wisconsin through the WDNR and had raised "Wild" turkeys for them to release. Ultimately this program failed as the birds were half wild/half domestic which later on lead to the trap and transplant program trade with the state of Missouri. I have my great uncles "WI Licensed" turkey program sign!

Great piece of history. Thanks for sharing.

Good video!!
This video was a mainstay of the Wisconsin DNR Turkey Hunter Education Clinics beginning in 1983. I was an instructor for these clinics from 1989 through 2001, and I never got tired of watching it.
good one, thanks
Very neat liked seeing the old footage and the camera work. Also neat to reflect on the trapping methods I recall them being used when I first started hunting them. Thanks for sharing
I remember signs on the highway west of Clarendon, Arkansas along the White River bottoms on Hwy. 79 offering rewards. That was long before the NWTF. And I thought the NWTF created the Wild Turkey. Learn something new everyday.
That was a great video. Hat's off to the Missouri Department, although I imagine that most, if not all, who were involved in the production are gone. Ecology, habitat, limiting factors, hunting, poaching, life cycle, this video covered it all and I am sure it was entertaining and educational at a time when the Wild Turkey really needed a boost. Come to think of it, the Wild Turkey needs a boost now in many areas with past abundance.
