I've been hunting them turkeys since they showed up in Northern Illinois in the 80's. It has been my understanding that white turkeys are tame or close to tame and need to be shot. I hunt near the Wisconsin border myself and there are so many turkeys now, they are trapping them and sending them to other states. The Ill. DNR has always been very helpful and will answer your question. I had to call them a few months ago when a local farmer told me that they were reintroducing cougars into Northern Illinois. Of course it turned out to be false. Good luck deer hunting this weekend! The weather is going to be great, instead of the usual north pole stuff we get this time of year.
