Description: The bird was one of three males that joined 15 females in the latest turkey release in Crow Wing County. All the birds were captured near Rushford. If all goes according to plan, the birds will help establish a permanent population in this part of the county. North-central Minnesota got its first wild turkeys in 1998 with a release in Crow Wing County. The birds have prospered and today are a common sight throughout the lakes area. The county’s first turkey hunt took place in 2003. The latest turkey release in this area took place near Deerwood on Jan. 26 with the release of 15 hens. Three males were released at the same site on Jan. 31. All of the birds were captured near Rushford in southern Minnesota. Brainerd Dispatch/Vince Meyer
