They will wipe out your turkey. I use to have tuns of turkey on my land, and once the hogs showed up, all the turkey are gone. Ive seen one turkey on my land in the last 15 years. The quail are doing great. Not sure why that is, they are ground nesters like the turkey. So I would assume their eggs are getting hit as well. But I have seen no affect on the quail. But then again, I have not hunted the quail on my land in over 10 years. I just cant bring myself to shoot a bunch of quail and only recover one or two. My CRP is to thick, its almost imposible to find the birds after you shoot them, that is without dogs.
