I have a moose camp just north east or Huntsville and with many friends up there, I hear or stories of wild turkeys there. It was just Friday that I saw pics of a small flock walking through the snow.
It is amazing how all the experts said that, that area would not support wild turkeys so they NEVER TRANSPLANTED wild turkeys there. These birds have migrated there all on their own and are surviving and even expanding their population. Turkeys will eat anything and almost everything. You name it, they have or will eat it. They amaze me more and more on how resilient that they are.
I used to not support the fall hunt, because I did not feel that they (the turkeys) would be able to support a second hunt. I guess if they were to limit the fall season to archery only, it could be alright with me, espically since most archery hunt deer and I feel that there would be too much danger with the gun season (plus you would need hunter orange).

Anyone know when the MNR will post the locations for the turkey seminars ? I have seen a ton of these birds while deer hunting and this year I'll take the plunge and get the course to hunt them in the spring. Just have to wait and find out where the course is going to be held. Hipwader
Chech out the MNR or OFAH web sight for turkey seminars.
I have seen turkeys flying over the hightway around the huntsville area. A uncle of mine has property in the #42 area, theres deer, moose and black bear up there. I wounder if turkey will make it that far. I havent had time to hunt there yet, mabey in the next year or two.

They are abundant around Apsley. 14 Birds roosted in the hard wood behind the cottage last spring. As for the Courses the Ontario Federation Of Anglers and Hunters sponsor the course. They publish the list very early January on thier web Site and The best course to take is at the Sportsman Show they give you admistion to the show and discount coupons for the vendors at the show. Win Win Win. Michgan has a fall hunt for any bird not just toms and it is a different experiance. My hunt was 40 minutes last year walk in set up call shoot go home with tom . . . .disappointing.
