with the characteristics of a wild turkey.
In 1945 the original plant was discon-
inued. It was replaced by another in a
~orth-central county which has an annual
opacity of 5,000 birds, as compared with the
.,500 produced at the original site.
During .the years of 1937 and 1938, Roger
Jatham, chief of the division of research of
he Pennsylvania Game Commission, con-
lucted a survey of the wild turkey range,
hen almost restricted to the south-central
)ortion of the state. Latham estimated the
erritory to be about two million acres, in
!8 of the 67 counties. Today, the wild turkey
s found in all but a few of the counties, with
1 range that has increased to 13 million
icres. Within that area there are well over
00 forest game refuges.
The wild turkey in its new-found environ-
sent is largely inaccessible on much of the
ange in the north-central region. That, com-

who would bag a bronze beauty, has made it
possible for the birds to sustain themselves
in what has been an ever-increasing number.
At times, as many as 75 or more birds will
appear at the winter feeders maintained dur-
ing periods of deep snows.
The wild turkey population today is such
that the Pennsylvania game commission has
added another week of hunting for the com-
ing season, making it five weeks, the most
liberal in the history of the sport, a far cry
from 20 years ago when the shooting period
was 20 days, and with 27 of the "turkey
counties" closed to any hunting of the birds.
Whether this extended season will con-
tinue into the future is a question only the
days to come can answer. One thing is cer-
tain, more and more hunters will take to the
woods in quest of this prize and the more
often they do so, the more experience they
will gain in learning what makes a wild
turkey wild. 63
