Welcome To C & C Outdoors Turkey Hunting

In the early 1900's North American turkey populations were almost depleted and it is believed that less then 30,000 wild turkeys remained in the US due to hunting pressure and destruction of turkey habitat. Today the wild turkey population of North American is believed to be over 7 million, and wild turkeys inhabit every state in the US with the exception of Alaska. The wild turkey also ranges into parts of Mexico and Canada.

Benjamin Franklin once said: "I wish the bald eagle had not been chosen as the representative of our country; he is a bird of bad immoral character: like those among men who live by shaping and robbing, he is generally poor, and often very lousy. The turkey is a much more respectable bird, and withal a true original native of America"

The Dictionary definition of a Turkey- A large, gallinaceous bird of the family Meleagrididae, esp. Meleagris gallopavo, of America, that typically has green, reddish-brown, and yellowish-brown plumage of a metallic luster and that is domesticated in most parts of the world.
