Lots of turkeys around the cabin!

Let's talk turkey!

The Wild Turkey has made a strong comeback to the Ohio landscape after decades of absence. This bird once inhabited forested areas of the entire state, providing food for Native Americans and early Ohio settlers. As settlement continued and forest lands were converted to cropland, the wild turkey's population dwindled to the point that no birds remained in the state by 1904. Today, Ohio's statewide wild turkey population now exceeds 200,000 turkeys.
