Wild Turkeys make great come-back in Kawarthas The Ministry of Natural Resources (M.N.R.) at Lindsay has completed a successful wild turkey relocation. i The purpose was to re-establish a wild turkey population into their historical northern limits, in the Kawartha Lakes area.

Wild turkeys used to range over most of southern Ontario, but were eradicgted due to loss of habitat and unregulated hunting in the late 1800's Ten years ago, in a unique cooperative effort, several of the northern U.S. states provided wild turkeys for release in Southern Ontario.

INTERESTED IN ADVERTISING ON OUR CALL TH Ontario sent moose to Michigan and river otters to Missouri. In 1987, the Lindsay M.N.R., with financial help from the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters was able to obtain wild turkeys from New Jersey. These birds were released south. of Lindsay in the Fleetwood Conservation area. A subsequent release was made in 1989 south of Rice Lake in Haldimand Township consisting of birds whose stock originally came form New York state. The progeny of those two groups of birds now inhabit most of the Oak Ridges Moraine area. This winter, M.N.R. staff located two large flocks of turkeys near the Ganaraska Agreement Forest. Both flocks were of sufficient size that they were saturating their winter habitat and were prime candidates for relocation. Thirty-three birds from these flocks were trapped with a cannon-propelled net and released at two separate locations north of Rice Lake in Peterborough County. An additional six hens from this trapping were released near Wingham, Ontario. in a provincial effort to broaden the genetic base. The release sites were not sufficiently stocked with hens and immature males, but it was felt that inserting adult males into both flocks would optimize their chance of flourishing. A " group of mature males was located, again near the Ganaraska Forest. Four of these birds were trapped with two going to each release site. All of this effort will hopefully help re-establish wild turkeys in the Kawartha Lakes area and will provide exciting viewing and eventually hunting opportunities. The wild turkey hunting season in those wildlife management units with well established populations started May 2. Prospective hunters must complete a special wild turkey hunting course before they can purchase a licence. They should check provincial hunting regulations for specifics on the season and open zones. As always, hunters should ensure that they have permission from landowners if they are going to hunt on private property.
