Absolutely. I know that they eat the common morrels, and the orange ones in the fall that look like toadstools....I can't think of the name of those....

A turkey will eat anything that doesn't eat it first:D

Yeah, they'll eat just about anything....including all those quail and grouse chicks, and even fawns. :D Seriously! ;) That's what some folks would have you believe as to why there are now so many turkeys, while we have shrinking populations of grouse, quail, and deer. :eek:
