They may just be feral birds:

In some areas, there are a feral flocks of "pen-raised" turkeys. These are turkeys whose ancestors have been raised in captivity for generations. Although they look just like wild turkeys, they act tame and can become pests. It is illegal to release or possess these birds, but people sometimes do so in ignorance of the law. People should not feed these birds, or any wild turkeys as it will alter their shyness and interfere with their ability to find food on their own.

And regardless of what type they are, you need a permit to hunt them although there is a Spring hunting season for males. Hurry! Act now!

They have infiltrated the legislature. Although I assume this has something to do with the fact that the wild turkey is our state bird, this law may end up having unintended consequences - namely, enslavement of the entire human race by wild turkeys:

Chapter 131: Section 75. Wild turkey

Section 75. Except as provided in section five, a person shall not hunt or have in his possession a wild turkey or take, molest, disturb, destroy or have in possession the nest or eggs of a wild turkey.

Section five has some vague statements about lawfully taking wildlife on your own land, but the turkey-appointed judges will likely interpret that against us.

Avenge me!!!
