Non-Linear Density Dependence in a Stochastic Wild Turkey Harvest Model
Current eastern wild turkey (<I>Meleagris gallopavo silvestris</I>) harvest models assume density-independent population dynamics despite indications that populations are subject to a form of density dependence. I suggest that both density-dependent and independent factors operate simultaneously on …

Characteristics and Use of Wild Turkey Roost Sites in Southcentral South Dakota
Ten radio-tagged wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo)were monitored to document roost site use and bird movements in the Missouri River breaks complex of southcentral South Dakota during the summer of 1984. Distances between roost sites used by wild turkeys ranged from 0.55 km to 3.09 km. Primary and …

Brood-rearing Period Cover Use By Wild Turkey Hens in Southcentral South Dakota
Brood-rearing period cover use by wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) hens with broods and those without, in Gregory County, South Dakota, was determined in order to formulate management suggestions for grassland/riparian woodland habitat. Two hens with broods and 12 hens without broods were studies …
