It had suffered a disastrous decline as a result of overharvesting by settlers plus deforestation and agriculture. The subsequent restoration of this species is one of the great success stories of American conservation....The author discusses the natural history, range, physical characteristics, behavior, management, and the art and science of hunting the wild turkey. He also includes a discussion of the books and bulletins written about the wild turkey as well as an extensive bibliography. Williams has provided the definitive reference work on the wild turkey. Whether you're a hunter, game, manager, conservationist, or amateur naturalist, this book will help you understand a appreciate the wild turkey for what it really is -- the wariest of all game birds."
