Default RE: Do owls eat baby turkeys?

Predators such as owls and hawks are opportunists and will take turkey poults when the opportunity arises...

Red tailed hawks in particular probably take the greatest toll...I doubt a red tail could kill a full grown turkey, but they get thier share of the poults when the mothers have them out in the hayfields eating bugs.... I once saw a red tail hit an adult hen turkey...Didn't kill her, but she was one PO'D turkey..!!....
