Guest ketchum Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 Just wondering if anyone has any info on the average lifespan of a wild turkey. Today is the forth day of season here in Tennessee. Myself, my son and my hunting partner have managed 4 birds total. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTbowman Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 Re: HOW LONG DOES A TURKEY LIVE? Not sure what a typical life span is but around you and your posse it dont sound like very long to me. LOL Congrats on the harvest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KYLimbHanger Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 Re: HOW LONG DOES A TURKEY LIVE? I have heard no more than 5 years. 4 years being very seldom. Normally if they last 5 years, they become very vulnerable to predators. This is just what I have heard. Don't know how acurate it is.

Strut10 Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 Re: HOW LONG DOES A TURKEY LIVE? Depends how close he lives to my house. I'm guessing a wild turkey over the age of 6 is a very lucky, old bird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[ QUOTE ] There are no known adverse effects of wild turkeys on humans. whoever wrote this has never crawled into a bottle of 101, or maybe they meant the bird? [/ QUOTE ] I know you're right. Yep.
