Turkeys have made a resurgence all over the country. Here in NC, the Forest Service and state parks actively manage habitat to benefit turkeys, quail, and other game birds. I’m sure it’s the same in other states.
You don’t have coyotes to help cars kill the deer?
Coyotes and turkeys all over the place here in MA,and in densely populated areas.Never saw them years ago.
Lots of coyotes living in the suburbs but you don't hear of them killing deer. Plenty of other food sources such as possums, feral cats, muskrats and an occasional pet dog.
You don't hear any accounts of them roaming in packs but rather just solitary sightings. A couple weeks ago a friend who lives in Warren said he saw a female with two pups behind his house on the other side of his fence that borders a wooded area.
