--Boundary_(ID_KdJjsU6WDZo4bdalPDP6ng) Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Peter et al., I think I heard once that Wild Turkeys were [illegally?] introduced onto Grand Manan Isand, N.B., and that they are even hunted there? Perhaps Brian Dalzell can fill us in on this, or David Christie? What Peter said about the historic limit to their range in s. Maine agrees with what I have heard; however, climate change plus the very active and widespread introductions by the U.S. National Turkey Federation have greatly extended the natural historic range of the turkeys. Cheers and thanks from Jim in Wolfville.
