huntnma: I took a nice longbears once that had a 5" garder snake in it craw.have saw a lot of worms like army worms,and green grass worms in them.don' t know about earth worms,but I would think they would.
I saw a pic. in the NWTF magz. of a gobbler with a fishing lure in it craw.you never know.

I would think they would eat anything that moves in the wild.thats why most turkey hunters are reeeeeaaal still(" don' t move" )[:-]

Years ago I saw a picture in Turkey Call magazine of a .22 casing that was found in a turkey' s gizzard--it looked like a gold nugget...

Up here in Northern NYS, the only thing I have ever found in a spring gobbler' s craw was bits of grass and something that looked like little potatoes.

hey huntnma hope you don' t mind I add on a question of my own but me and my wife were scouting yesterday and we came up to a big sandy area and it had all these little trails on them we found out they were baby snapping tutles looked like they just hatched and where just crawling around and there was turkey tracks all over the place.

My question is do turkeys eat baby turtles? I know they eat lizards and bugs.

The saying I' ve always heard is that they will eat anything that won' t eat them. One of their favorites here in mountains of east tennessee and southwest virginia is spring lizards and snales. I' ve seen them with a craw full.
