Default RE: Spring 2008 Merriam's and Rio's

Rob, I had to do a little searching, but I found what I was looking for. I knew the Kansas DNR had a map on their website that gave locations for where differant birds were located. Here is the linkhttp://www.kdwp.state.ks.us/news/hunting/turkey , but this is basically what they had to say:

Turkey

[/align][/align][/align][/align]Wild turkeys were reintroduced into Kansas in the 1960s, and the program has been a great success. Today, huntable populations of turkeys exist in nearly every county. The Rio Grande subspecies dominates the western two-thirds of the state. Low numbers in the southwest provide only limited hunting. Hybrid Rio Grande/Eastern birds are found in the northcentral region. The Eastern subspecies is common in the northeast and far southeast regions, where numbers have grown tremendously in recent years.
