Turkey

Turkeys were introduced to the area about 20 years ago and have thrived near the remaining farms. The northen half of the county where farming still dominates the landscape provides the best turkey areas. It is not unusual to see flocks numbering over 40 birds foraging in the fields where manure is spread.

The same conditions that favoured the turkeys has also proven beneficial to deer. In fact deer and turkey are often seen foraging in the same fields together. Eight point bucks are commonly taken today.
