A wild turkey wing is mentioned in con- no:-lion with a ceremonial least by ll-iron Indians in 1637. When the ilnuee family arrived at Turkey Point in Ontario in 1793 wildfowl in-re so numerous that "It was a pi'l'ICCl bedlem of conflicting sounds The gobble of wild turkeys. screams hi geese and quack of ducks was something wonderful to hear."

Wild turkeys were very Bbullds aiil tlirougliout the whole country mlniiniiig the Atlantic Seaboard during the sixteenth and seven- lccnth centuries as shown by ref- rrence of writers of that period. Jusselyn in 1672 wrote: "I have also seen three-score broods ynniig turkeys on the side of a nnn-sli. sunning themselves in a innrniiig bctimes. but this was iliiriy years since the Indians and the English have now destroy- ed the breed so that 'tis very rare to meet with a wild turkey in the woods." The following are Audub- nin's words:"....turks were so ab- iindant that the price of one in the market was not equal to that of a common barnyard fowl. I have seen them offered for the sum of ilirce pence each, the bird weigh- in: from ten to twelve pounds."

These'magnificent birds retreat-

ed rapidly with the advance of settlement from 1700 on. in New England and New York to the un- sctlled parts of those States. The shooting and trapping of the birds had also greatly reduced their num- ber by l775 in Michigan. Ontario and Pennsylvania. Those remain- ing in Connecticut had retreated to the mountain areas by 1792 and the price of birds had risen from one and a half pence per pound to 1296 cents per pound in man.

While wild turkeys roosted high in oak and beech timber forests, they frequented swamps and came out into the open to obtain insects and other food. They were fond of grain which probably led to their extermination in the settlements but also ate acorns, beech nuts. weed and grass seeds. berries and the buds of trees.

Wild turkeys were extinct in most of Michigan in 1904 and they had almost disappeared from ont- srio by 1900. Soon after that they were exterminsted in Canada and throughout most of the States ex- cept in the mountain areas of Penn- sylvania. From 1902 to 1905 there were closed seasons on wild tur- Keys in Ontario but there were no birds left. -

The Ontario Department of Lands Ind Forests learned that the Penn- wlvania State Game Commission lad been successful in hatching Ind rearing wild turkeys and that "9 mulls were able to take care if iL Ivan when .
