That story has been around for some time.... Turkeys came about the same time we started seeing opossums.. There are decent pockets of grouse in New York state that also has turkeys, and opossums.. But they have HABITANT....Quote:

There's some logging still in those parts and I've seen grouse there. But closer to minden I hardly see any it's not even worth looking. But hey at this rate they will ban birdy hunting in a year or two due to bird flu.
I might not be saying goodbye this year. While walking our bush lot recently a hen did the broken wing routine meaning there's a nest nearby.
Out on my MTB in Zone 60 on Fri' and saw a hen and some little ones. My father talked about cycles when we were kids (I'm 62 now). We have 'yotes in our area which we didn't in the past.
