Quote from: M Sharpe on February 24, 2011, 09:15:09 AMThey can and do ship turkeys to other states and even countries. I had even wondered about Ft. Stewart, here in GA. One year you see turkeys everywhere and then for the next two, you can't even find a track. I know they had something going on with nwtf and planting trees. Of course this is purely speculation on my part.Mark

There is no need to take turkeys from Tennessee to Texas when you could get them in other counties in Texas. If they do any relocating turkeys they are just going to take them from a county with a high population and put them in a county with a low population within the state. Also, like busta biggun said they are not going to introduce a subspecies.
Quote from: bird on February 24, 2011, 05:32:02 PMDon't be surprised at what some State's will do as far as introducing other subspecies to an area. For example: South Dakota felt it wise to transplant Easterns into areas where there were nothing but Merriams. Now the have a little bit of both.
Quote from: busta biggun on February 24, 2011, 10:46:39 AMThis whole story sounds strange to me. First, why would they want to introduce Easterns into Texas? They already have Rio's established and it has been proven that they do much better than Easterns in semi-arid climates. The goal of any trap and transfer program is to take a small portion of birds from a place with high concentrations. They never take so many birds that they decimate a population. There could be exceptions if you had a rogue group of agents but I don't understand any motivation for that. I feel that there may be other explanations, such as predation, habitat destruction, or perhaps the farmer never sees any because he isn't looking for them. Many farmers don't see turkeys unless they almost hit them with their truck. Regardless there are many more plausible explanations than TWRA intervention.
