Couestracker Report post Posted July 27, 2018 I watched some old 28mm home movies made by my late Uncle, he's chasing turkeys down a road with his new Buick Electra. I thought turkeys were hunted to extinction, then reintroduced in recent years? Pretty cool to watch these, some go back to 1955, when I was 2. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

creed_az_88 Report post Posted July 27, 2018 I've heard a bunch of stories from different guys about them seeing random turkeys in the chiricahuas throughout the 90's. Not sure if they were goulds or Merriam's but I've heard too many stories from different people for at least some of them to not be true. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rez turkeys...totally different species. Man they have everything on that rez if they'd only start managing the game and issuing some non-tribal tags they could do very well.
