Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book merges decades of scientific research and anecdotal evidence to explore the inherent wildness of different strains of wild turkeys. The author draws on his own experiences and research, comparing two strains to examine the varying degrees of true wildness across generations of breeding. The first strain, a semi-domesticated line, is contrasted with a second strain, a cross between captive-bred hens and wild toms. This study highlights the remarkable differences in behavior, physiology, and activity levels between these two distinct groups and examines how these differences impact the birds' ability to survive in the wild. The book concludes with practical applications of the research for turkey management and conservation programs, emphasizing the importance of preserving the wildness of these birds for future generations.
