Conservation Status
Wild turkeys are plentiful and are widespread. Many states are starting to introduce them into previously uninhabited areas, increasing their range and distribution. Current estimates of wild turkey populations are around 4 million in North America (Dickson, 1995).
Wild turkeys are not legally protected. In fact, they are hunted in many states.
