| Summary: | (45%) and Texas (56%) birds. No significant (P > 0.05) 75% (n = 4), and 80% for Texas gobblers (n = 5). Mammalian annual mean distance between successive locations were annual mean distance traveled from the release site, and Annual survival for Texas hens (juvenile and adult) in my between broodstock, although rates tended to be higher (54% between study areas. Annual survival for Iowa gobblers was birds was a possible detriment to their success. I recommend broodstocks and propose that late relocation of the Texas difference was found in nesting rates (juvenile and adult) differences (mortality, reproduction) between Iowa and Texas efforts. found Iowa hens had larger (x = 1,536.2 ha) annual home range further evaluation of relocated eastern wild turkeys from gallopavo silvestris) from Iowa and Texas which were greater (P < 0.05) for relocated Iowa birds. Furthermore, I hatching a clutch of eggs, while only 1 Texas hen was movements were evaluated using radiotelemetry. Annual Objectives of this study were to compare mortality, predation was the primary cause of mortality for both Iowa relocated into the Post Oak Savannah of Texas. To achieve reproduction, and movements of eastern wild turkeys (Meleagis sizes than any reported for this subspecies, I found no study was 27% (n = 12), the lowest reported for this subspecies. I found no significant (P > 0.05) differences survival for Iowa hens (juvenile and adult) was 50% (n = 14). surviving to 2 weeks post-hatch. Annual home range sizes, suspected of hatching a clutch of eggs with no poults tagged Iowa birds and the other with relocated radio-tagged Texas birds during winter 1996. Mortality, reproduction, and Texas to determine their potential benefits for restoration these objectives, one area was stocked with relocated radio- vs 43%) for Iowa hens. No Iowa hens were suspected of when comparing survival of hens (juveniles and adults) |
