North American Wild Turkey Management Plan

As wild turkey populations continue to increase across the United States, it is important to look toward the future of wild turkey management to ensure North America's largest game bird for generations to come. The North American Wild Turkey Management Plan looks at managing a healthy wild turkey population all across the country.  Mississippi is home to the Eastern Wild Turkey.  The Eastern Wild Turkey is the most widely distributed, abundant and hunted turkey of all the subspecies of wild turkey.  Proper management from the NAWTMP will ensure that the Eastern Wild Turkey in Mississippi will thrive for future generations to come.
