Synopsis

Discover how turkey physiology shapes wild populations and management success.

This book reviews physiological studies and field work that guide restocking and conservation efforts for the eastern wild turkey.

The text blends practical management details with scientific findings, showing how biology informs restocking strategies, selective breeding, and habitat use. It highlights collaborations between wildlife agencies and universities to improve restoration programs, and it explains why certain birds perform better in the wild than others.
  • Comparisons between cross-bred, “semi-domesticated” birds and typical game-farm stock
  • Techniques used to increase “wildness” and successful hardening-off before release
  • Restocking outcomes and long-term implications for turkey populations
  • How physiological research translates into practical wildlife management
Ideal for readers of wildlife management, conservation biology, and practical restoration programs.
