Re: MASON FARM LOVERS



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!!
