BrentM: Research the restocking program Bigboy....yes others "Tried the release of pen-reared wild stock"..didn't work. Auburn researched the habitat needs and trapped in-state-----actually traded some to other states. Some of you folks on here I wonder if you actually have Pubes yet....
I actually have done a fair amount of research. Most all the restocking came when hunters and landowners got together and started working to change things because the state was just sitting on its hands.
If the state would take the money they are using for all this “research” and start a program that encouraged trapping coyotes and varmints we’d have more turkeys here than we knew what to do with.
