[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1874006, member: 77249"] Turkeys will cross breed with other turkeys. When I worked as a Wildlife Officer got a strange call, in early April one year. A farmer called me and complained he had problem with a wild turkey on his farm. They had 2 of the largest domestic gobblers I ever seen. They stated Tom's weight at 50 lb. and Harry's at 45 lb., They were so big they done well to walk much less fight. There story was a (little turkey) came in the barn yard and took over their hens. This turkey would run or fly away if they came out in the yard/Barn yard area. Next morning I was sitting in their barn at daylight. The domestic turkeys roosted in a building and came off the roost and into the barn yard shortly after daylight and started making some sounds. As I watched a turkey sailed into a meadow and came strutting into the barn yard. The 2 big domestic gobblers walked away and let the wild turkey take over the hens. 2 or 3 of the hens came around the gobbler and dropped and raised their tail. He done his fowl deed. I came out of the barn and ran, Went into the air and down the hollow. I turned the complaint over to the District Biologist and I went back to working on illegal preseason gobbler hunting. The farmer later told me his neighbor called in and killed a nice gobbler the first day of spring gobbler season and the problem ended. [/QUOTE]
