GOVERNMENT MANAGEMENT INITIATIVES The MFFP has launched a wild turkey management plan for 2016-2023 in order to ensure a viable future population and continued natural expansion of the species. The plan is comprised of four broad objectives: species management, species sustainability, increased hunting popularity, and coexistence with wildlife (MFFP 2016a). Additionally, the provincial government has spearheaded the development of spatial statistical models aimed at predicting the probability of presence of wild turkeys in southern Québec. When implemented, such an approach would allow biologists and wildlife managers to anticipate territory use by wild turkeys in zones where they are already present, and in zones not yet occupied (Blanchette et Landry 2015). CONCLUSION The future appears very bright for wild turkeys in Québec. The continued implementation and improvement of sustainable wildlife management practices by the MFFP will help ensure a healthy population, which in turn will enhance the provinces rich natural history and contribute to the economic prosperity of many local communities. It will also secure the ongoing pursuit of this prized game bird by passionate hunters, thus preserving a timehonored Canadian tradition.
