Edgar is right. From what I've read, turkeys will eat anything and everything that is edible. Mice, insects, small birds, eggs, anything that will fit down their throat. I'm not at all surprised at Edgars description of the grouse disappearing. Too bad they can't get them to eat young racoons and possums in Michigan....
I'm not aware of any effort by the RGS to address turkey predation, and I've been at hunts with all the national board members and regional directors and biologists the past two years. Not a peep on the turkey issue.
