Show TURKEY TRANSPLANTS AID DISTRIBUTION An important winter activity of Division of Fish and Game personnel in the Southern Re-pin.n Re-pin.n is the trapping and transplanting trans-planting of wild turkey. A good population of turkey exists in this area and surplus birds are now being trapped for transplanting to other areas of suitable habitat. Turkey trapping trap-ping is often an exasperating experience, as the wary birds shy away from the trap site ot escape the net. Improved methods meth-ods have helped Division men to achieve fair success, and sufficient suf-ficient turkeys have been trapped in past years to establish estab-lish populations in several areas of southern Utah. |
