Has there been a "restocking" effort here in North Carolina or have the
turkeys simply repopulated the area on their own? Where in NC is the core
population?
In my native northwestern New Jersey I watched Turkey populations explode
over the past two decades following a reintroduction effort consisting of a
small number of birds transplanted from Vermont. They have been so
successful that it is now possible to see large flocks (>20 birds) at
will. The sight of a mature tom turkey in flight is awesome!!
