Ohio Wild Turkey
Strategic Plan Synopsis
The wild turkey (meleagris gallapavo), the largest gallinaceous bird
in North America, exists in a variety of habitats through-out its
range. This now abundant bird was almost forced in extinction
in the early 1900’s through unregulated hunting and improper
land management. Today, the wild turkey population is more
than 7 million birds strong thanks to stat

e, federal and provincial
agencies and hunters across North America who supported
restoration efforts. Currently, wild turkeys can be found in 49
states, seven provinces and across Mexico. As the need to trap
and transfer wild turkeys becomes less necessary, it is important
to look toward the future of North America’s greatest game birds
and work to make sure that future is bright. The North American
Wild Turkey Management Plan: An Integrated Approach to
Wildlife Management, is designed to do just that. Mission: To ensure that wild turkey populations and their
habitats are managed and conserved to benefit all associated
wildlife species through collaborative conservation. The North American Wild Turkey Management Plan is a
compilation of regional and state/provincial plans that will
outline goals to help wildlife management agencies and the
NWTF’s dedicated volunteers target the most important factors
in wild turkey conservation and protecting our hunting heritage. In support of the North American Wild Turkey Management
Plan and the continued efforts of wild turkey conservation
and the preservation of the hunting tradition, since 1985, the
NWTF’s Ohio Chapter and its members have spent more
than $3.5 million in Ohio. The money has been raised through
Hunting Heritage Super Fund Banquets and direct deposits to
the Ohio Hunting Heritage Fund from supportive individuals
and businesses. This fund is administered jointly by the NWTF,
its state chapters and state agencies. The Ohio State Chapter’s
priorities fall into five major categories: Habitat Enhancement,
Education and Outreach, Hunting Heritage, Wild Turkey
Research and Hunter Access.
