Document Description
This project involves the capture and translocation of wild turkeys between November 1, 1999 and October 31, 2000. Approximately 16-32 wild turkeys may be released at any of the sites identified by the above coordinates. These locations contain habitat suitable for the establishment of wild turkey populations, which will provide recreational viewing and hunting opportunities for the public. No previous studies have shown significant adverse impacts from the wild turkey translocations to native plants and animals. This program is consistent with and is intended to implement the provisions of Fish and Game Code Section 1801. Successful translocations of wild turkeys will provide additional recreational viewing and hunting opportunities for the public. Wild turkeys now exist in eastern Tulare County, and these translocations are intended to augment existing populations.
